noun
unsold goods; leftover stock
Refers to merchandise that remains unsold, often at the end of a season or after a sales period. Commonly used in retail and business contexts.

この店は仕舞物をまとめて処分している。
This store is disposing of unsold goods in bulk.
Compound of 仕舞 (しまい, 'end' or 'finish') and 物 (もの, 'thing'), literally 'end-of-period goods'. The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the term likely arose in merchant contexts to describe items left over after a sales period.
