KAN

Left: movement 辶, right: eye 罒 and a variation of sorrow 哀 (= Clothes 衣 with a big hole 口 causes sorrow.)

The eyes show sorrow (i.e. about where we are) and thus we need a movement of return.

辶	movement	The radical shinnyuu* stands for movement and thus with the same meaning as the very similar radical ennyou 廴*
罒	eyes, (net)	The Radical yongashira* shows the picture of an eye with a central pupil ロ, whereas 'eye' is also: 目. This radical is sometimes seen as a net for fishing.*
哀	to grieve	Clothes 衣 with a hole causes sorrow 口.

返還	へんかん	return, restoration
還元	かんげん	resolution, reduction, return to origins
還暦	かんれき	60th birthday
