Word origin

回落 (huíluò, "fall back") joins 回 (huí, "return") with 落 (luò, "fall"), so the compound pictures a high level turning back downward rather than dropping from the start.

Usage tips

  • 回落 (huíluò, "fall back") is especially natural for measurable conditions such as temperatures, prices, and interest rates, because the change is tracked against an earlier level.
