rear-view
Looking back direction
Rear-view describes something that provides a view of what's behind, especially while driving: a rear-view mirror.
The term extends to backward-looking perspective generally: In the rear-view, the decision seems obvious.
Often hyphenated as an adjective, though rearview appears as one word, particularly in American usage.
