恢
复

About

The character 恢 conveys the idea of vastness, breadth, or enlargement, while 复 carries the core meaning of return, repetition, or turning back. Their combination in 恢复 forms a conceptual metaphor: it is the process of "returning to a broad or original state". It visualizes a return (复) not just to a previous point, but specifically to a full, expansive, and complete condition (恢), thus conceptually meaning to restore, recover, or resume something to its former wholeness.
