About

The word "回顾" is formed by combining the character "回", which means to return or revolve and is pictographically derived from a spiral shape indicating turning, with "顾", which means to look or attend and is composed of the radical "页" (head/face) suggesting an action related to sight. Together, they literally convey the idea of turning back to look, resulting in the meaning of looking back or reviewing past events.
