It can also be used in spoken conversation, but it is more common to use the word 回答 (huídá) in this context.The etymology of the word 回复 can be traced back to the ancient Chinese language. The character 回 was originally a pictograph of a person walking back, while the character 复 was originally a pictograph of a person repeating an action. Over time, these two characters evolved into their current forms and meanings.The word 回复 is a versatile word that can be used in a variety of contexts.
