Étymologie et composants

The Chinese word 回忆 (huíyì) for "recall" or "reminisce" is composed of two characters: 回 (huí), meaning "return" or "go back," and 忆 (yì), meaning "remember" or "think of." Together, these characters convey the idea of "going back in one's mind" or "recalling something from the past."The character 回 (huí) is a pictograph depicting a person turning back. It is often used in words related to returning, such as 回家 (huíjiā) "go home" and 回信 (huíxìn) "reply to a letter."The character 忆 (yì) is a phonetic-semantic compound. The phonetic component 亦 (yì) indicates the pronunciation, while the semantic component 心 (xīn) "heart" suggests the idea of thinking or remembering.When combined, 回忆 (huíyì) forms a vivid and intuitive representation of the act of recalling memories. It is a commonly used word in both spoken and written Chinese, and it plays an important role in expressing thoughts and emotions related to the past.
