That which is opposed to going, gone, what is consumed or crumbled. That which is left after any action or passage of time. The dictionary says. Re-manere in Latin, “re-main,” is the staying back from that which has advanced, gone forward, or dissolved. Remains, re-sti in Italian, sti comes from the Sanskrit word sthā which means: to stand still, to stay, to remain, to exist, to be present, while as a noun it means: that which stays, that which continues.
