noun (plural)
pl: lees

This term is used almost exclusively in the plural form to describe the solid matter that precipitates out of a liquid. In oenology, it refers specifically to the dead yeast cells and other particles that settle during fermentation. The process of removing these solids is known as racking.

When used figuratively, the word carries a strong negative connotation of worthlessness or decay. It describes the absolute bottom or the most degraded remnants of a society, organization, or era, emphasizing a sense of exhaustion or failure.
