Exegesis
The verse opens with the subject phrase hoi de loipoi {οἱ δὲ λοιποί | hoí dè loi-poí}, where the postpositive conjunction de links this clause to the preceding narrative while marking a contrast between this group and the previously mentioned invitees. The adjective loipoi functions substantivally, identifying “the rest” as a distinct subgroup of invitees who respond differently.
Root and etymology
pagispi–alpha–gamma–iota–sigma

In context — Matthew 22:6
But the rest , having seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them.
