Being Scottish I am familiar with all three meanings listed in Merriam-Webster. The first (remnant plant part) is archaic and I have rarely heard it used. The second is common, usually for a litter of pigs but also cats or dogs, and carries an implication not only of size but also weakness and unfitness for life: > We lost one of the piglets last night but no wonder, it was the runt of the litter There is a clear derogatory connotation and, especially if replacing `widow` and `orphan` for cultural sensitivity reasons, `runt` would be a spectacularly bad choice. -- GitHub Notification of comment by svgeesus Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/11283#issuecomment-2518408805 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
