回味

• 拼音: huí wèi
• 汉字拆解: 回 = 回 (circular — to return/revolve); 味 = 口 + 未 (mouth + not-yet — lingering taste not yet gone)

含义

Aftertaste; lingering flavour; to savour or reflect on a past experience with pleasure. Describes the act of mentally reliving and appreciating something enjoyable.

Originally a culinary term for the flavour that lingers after eating or drinking, 回味 has been extended metaphorically to experiences, memories, conversations, and artistic works. 回味无穷 (endless aftertaste) is a set phrase meaning deeply rewarding and inexhaustible in its resonance.
