About
The word 其余 is formed by directly combining two classical Chinese grammatical function words: 其, which acts as a demonstrative pronoun meaning "that" or "the", with 余, meaning "surplus" or "remaining". Together, they create a single compound that conceptually points to "the remaining part" of a previously mentioned whole, essentially functioning as a fixed phrase meaning "the rest" or "the others".
