Traces left behind (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

residues

(Other definitions for residues that I've seen before include "Leftovers, dregs" , "More than one thing left behind" , "Remainders" , "They remain after things has been removed" , "Remains after something has been removed" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
