offcut
This term is primarily used in industrial, craft, or domestic DIY contexts. It carries a connotation of utility and resourcefulness, suggesting that while the piece is a remnant, it still possesses value for smaller projects. It is more specific than "scrap," which often implies waste or something destined for disposal.
In a professional workshop setting, offcuts are viewed as inventory for small-scale tasks. The word is most frequently associated with tangible, hard materials like timber, steel, or heavy textiles, where the cutting process naturally leaves behind distinct, usable fragments.
