Word origin

退款 (tuìkuǎn, "refund") joins 退 (tuì, "return") to 款 (kuǎn, "money or payment"), making the word easy to connect with money going back after a payment.

Usage tips

  • This verb can describe a full or partial return of a payment, so the amount and timing require context rather than being assumed from the word alone.
