About

The word "其余" is formed by combining the character "其", a demonstrative pronoun meaning "that" or "those", with the character "余", meaning "remaining" or "surplus"; together, they create a compound where "其" modifies "余" to denote "the rest" or "the remaining part" of something previously referenced.
