Wikipedia: Romaine lettuce
Romaine or cos lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. var. longifolia) is a variety of lettuce that grows in a tall head of sturdy dark green leaves with firm ribs down their centers. Unlike most lettuces, it is tolerant of heat. In North America, romaine is often sold as whole heads or as “hearts” that have had the outer leaves removed and are often packaged together.

I had some lettuce left over after I made a salad, so I made another out of the Romainder.

After you use some of your lettuce, the amount that’s left is the romaineder.
