Usage Note
Resta (feminine) is the bristly awn of a cereal ear (la resta del grano) and, by extension, a plaited string of garlic or onions (una resta d'aglio). Do not confuse it with the masculine resto (remainder, change), nor with resta, the third-person singular present of the verb restare (he/she/it stays), a homograph.
Examples
"La resta del grano è pungente."
Natural Translation
The awn of the wheat is prickly.
