regreso

return

noun rreh-GREH-soh Less Common

Origin: From Latin regressus, 'a going back'.

Also means

comeback

Usage Note

Regreso is the noun form of regresar ('to return'). The phrase de regreso means 'on the way back' (de regreso a casa = 'on the way home'). Unlike vuelta, which can mean a turn or a lap, regreso is exclusively about returning to a place of origin. Both are interchangeable in many contexts, but regreso carries a slightly more formal tone.

Examples

"Esperamos su regreso mañana."

Natural Translation

We expect his return tomorrow.
