VESTIGE /ves-tid http://www.antimoon.com/images/zh.gif / (n) (formal)


- a small part or amount of something that remains when most of it no longer exists;

e.g. There's no vestige of woodland in this region.
There's not a vestige of truth to the lady's statement to the police.

- a trace of something that is disappearing or no longer exists.

e.g. Vigan is one of the last vestiges of the Spanish colony in Luzon.
