Memory phrase for the character: 還

還

return, restore

KAN

Left: movement 辶, right: eye 罒 and a variation of sorrow 哀 (= Clothes 衣 with a big hole 口 causes sorrow.)

The eyes show sorrow (i.e. about where we are) and thus we need a movement of return.

辶	movement	The radical shinnyuu* stands for movement and thus has the same meaning as the very similar radical ennyou 廴*
罒	eyes, (net)	The Radical yongashira* shows the picture of an eye with a central pupil ロ, whereas 'eye' is also: 目. This radical is sometimes seen as a net for fishing.*
哀	to grieve	Clothes 衣 with a hole causes sorrow 口.

Tip: Go to the radicals that are contained in this character and learn all the characters with this radical systematically!

返還	へんかん	return, restoration
還元	かんげん	resolution, reduction, return to origins
還暦	かんれき	60th birthday
