Word origin

The term 'remaindered' originates from the word 'remainder', which stems from the Latin 'remansum', meaning 'to remain'. In the context of book retailing, the use of 'remaindered' began to gain popularity in the mid-20th century as a way to describe books that remained unsold after a certain period. Publishers often find themselves with excess inventory, leading to a surplus of copies that can no longer be sold at the original price. As a result, these books are made available to retailers at a discounted price, categorized as remaindered goods. The practice allows bookstores to provide reduced-cost options to readers while enabling publishers to recoup some of their investment on unsold books.
