returns
Goes home again
Returns means coming or going back.
A person returns home after travel; a feeling returns when it resurfaces.
Returns also names what comes back: tax returns are forms sent back to the government, and returns on investment are profits that come back to the investor.
In retail, returns are items brought back for refund: The store has a generous returns policy.
The return key on a keyboard goes back to the start of a new line.
