noun rreh-GREH-soh Less Common
Origin: From Latin regressus, 'a going back'.

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.
