retrospects
Looks at past
Retrospects is a rare verb form meaning to look back on or review past events: She retrospects on her childhood with fondness.
The noun retrospect appears almost exclusively in the phrase in retrospect, meaning when considering something after the fact.
The verb form exists but sounds awkward to most ears—people prefer "reflect" or "look back."
