devolver, verb
to give back; to take back

When you want to give back what you’ve borrowed, devolver is the word you need:

Te devuelvo mañana el dinero que me prestaste.
I’ll give you back the money that you lent me tomorrow.

You also use it to talk about returning favors:

Te devuelvo el favor cuando pueda*.
I’ll return the favor when I can.

If you need to take something back, for example to a shop, you also use devolver:

Devolví la falda porque me quedaba pequeña.
I took the skirt back because it was too small.
