return
When used as a verb, "return" can be either transitive (meaning you are giving something back) or intransitive (meaning you are coming back yourself). Be careful not to confuse the two. In business and finance, when talking about money, "return" is often used in the plural form ("returns") to describe the total profits gained from an investment.
