The left-side radical in 残 is sometimes called 一タ偏.
Standard kanji spelling for this radical name.
Alternate spelling using 夕; reading いっせきへん is specific to this form.
Possible reading of the 一夕偏 spelling, but いっせきへん is the source-given reading for this form.
The name 一タ偏 describes the shape of the radical: the top part looks like 一 and the bottom part like タ (or 夕). This is a common way to name radicals in Japanese.
