About
还 is the simplified form of 還, retaining the movement radical 辶 and replacing the traditional phonetic component 睘 with 不. In the traditional character, 睘 (an eye above a garment) suggests looking back, establishing the original meanings of returning, going back, or giving back. Beyond physical return, 还 also functions as an adverb meaning still, yet, or even more, indicating a continuing state or an addition to an existing situation.
