Please help me =

Hello, I'm not an English native, but I teach English at school.

I would just love to apprehend the relation between these 2 words: regress, retrogress

Is the meaning of 'regress' covers that of 'retrogress'?

What do you say? I am appreciated if you will join and share your opinion.

Hi; They are synonyms. Regression is commonly used in mathematics but retrogression is not. Regression is used with a much higher frequency than retrogression.
