退回

• 拼音: tuì huí
• 汉字拆解: 退 = 辶 (walk) + 艮 (stop) — stopping and going back; 回 = pictograph of a spiral, suggesting return

含义

To return; to send back; to go back. Returning an object to its original owner or place, or withdrawing to a previous position.

Used both physically (returning goods, a document) and abstractly (reverting to a previous state). In bureaucratic contexts, 退回 means a document has been rejected and sent back for revision. In commercial contexts, it means returning merchandise. Can also describe a person or army withdrawing to a former position.
