A quantity or term to be eliminated; something marked for removal or destruction.
From Latin eliminandus (to be eliminated), from eliminare (to remove) + -andus (gerundive suffix). The -and ending marks things deserving elimination.
'Eliminand' is the mathematical cousin of 'agenda' and 'dividend'—all -and/-endum words marking something for a specific action, a bit of Latin grammar that snuck into English technical vocabulary.
