How it's used
Focuses on returning something to its original or healthy state, whether it is a physical object, a digital file, or a person's health. While it can be used for health, it often sounds slightly more formal or technical than the everyday word 康復. It is frequently used in computing contexts to describe restoring data or settings from a backup.
Examples
My computer is broken, can you help me restore it?
He rested for a few days, and his health has finally recovered.

Common mistake
Avoid using this for simple cleaning or tidying up, as it implies a process of reversing damage or returning to a previous state rather than just making something neat.
