vocabulary简明 In retrospect — that is, in looking back and contemplating the past — we sometimes find ourselves wishing that we had done some things differently.
vocabulary扩展 Though this word most commonly appears as a noun in the phrase "in retrospect," it can also be used as a verb. The prefix retro- means “back," and spect is a component of the words inspect, spectator, spectacles, and perspective, among others, which all have to do with looking or seeing. So it makes sense that retrospect means to look back in time, or to remember.
