Explanation and Etymology - (残す) nokosu
The Japanese word 残す (nokosu) is a verb that means "leave behind", "leave something not completed", "leave something like" or "leave something remaining". The word is composed of the characters 残 (zanzai), which means "rest" or "survivor", and す (su), which is a verbal suffix that indicates action. The etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the verb was written as 訥す and had the meaning of "speaking with difficulty."
