The Chinese word 恢复 (huīfù) is composed of two characters: 恢 (huī) and 复 (fù). The character 恢 originally meant "to enlarge" or "to expand", and was often used in the context of restoring or recovering something. The character 复 means "to return" or "to repeat", and is often used in the context of restoring something to its original state. Together, the two characters 恢复 mean "to restore" or "to recover", and are often used in the context of restoring something to its original state or condition. For example, the phrase 恢复健康 (huīfù jiànkāng) means "to recover one's health", while the phrase 恢复经济 (huīfù jīngjì) means "to restore the economy".
