Regarding airlines, can 'round-trip' mean 'whenever you want to come back?'

Going and then coming back.

Hi JJ,
Round trip means exactly that
a full circle, you leave from point
A fly to B and return to point A.
What you are asking is called
an 'open jaw'
You leave from point a to B and
from b return to C. No circle there,
thus, an open jaw.
JJ, Just noticed you said wheneverr not
were ever, so to answer that part, a ticket
on regular coach, business on first, that is
without any restrictions at full price is valid
for one full year, so within that year, you may
return wheneve you want. If the year starts
closing in on you, go to the airlines, and have
it extended, it will cost.
If you purchase a ticket with a discount, with
any promotion, will mostly restrict your return
date to the one you selected upon booking.
In come countries, they allow you to change the
return date (not destination) for a few days, for a
decent fee.
Hope this helps!
Then again,
always remember,
never forget,
when it comes to airlines
nothing stays the same for
long.

It should be "interpreted" by the airline...not you.
Ask an agent from that airline. It is the carrier that sets the fare and you have to abide by the terms. You don't want to get to the first destination of the trip to find that you have to pay a penalty to get back to point A.

Round trip means " going there and coming back" but you need to set the dates before you leave.

A trip from one place to another and back, usually over the same route
Purchase and sale of a security or commodity within a short time. For example, a trader who continually is making short-term trades in a particular commodity is making round trip or round turn trades. Commissions for such a trader are likely to be quoted in terms of the total for a purchase and sale-$100 for the round trip, for instance. Excessive round trip trading is called Churning.

The conditions relating to the return part of a flight are determined by the Class of ticket you purchase. The more flexibility you want/need the more expensive it will be. If you know the exact dates you want to travel and have absolutely no intention of ever changing them then you might qualify for a cheaper ticket.

Round trip takes you there and brings you back on the dates you have reserved for your ticket.

Right. And when you book your round-trip, you have to specify return date. Unless there's something I don't know about open-ended trips.

It would mean that you make the arrangements for going and coming and pay one price.You would have to make the arrangements for both when purchasing the ticket. It would then be subject to change because of available flights or overbooking and any other way to throw you off schedule.
