Pickings

/ˈpɪkɪŋz/ noun

Definition

Things that have been picked or chosen, or the profits or benefits obtained from something, usually with the implication of easy gains or leftovers.

Etymology

From 'pick' (to select) with the gerund '-ing' and plural '-s.' The word evolved from literal picking of crops to mean 'things selected' and then figuratively 'profits' or 'spoils.'

Kelly Says

'Pickings' appears in phrases like 'easy pickings' and 'lean pickings'—this word perfectly captures the idea of taking what you can get, whether it's good or meager!
