Read morereflection
Your reflection is what you see in the mirror. Other things that bounce back at you are also reflections — light waves, sound waves, even your thoughts.
Pronunciation: /rɪˈflɛk ʃən/
English description: an image that you can see in a mirror, glass, or water
Origin: Reflection comes from the Latin reflectere, made up of the prefix re-,"back," and flectere, "to bend." So it's bending something back: your reflection in the mirror is the light waves that bounce your image back at you. When you pause for reflection — serious thinking, that is — your thoughts are bending inward. Reflection can also be a consequence of something: the way your dog mopes around when you're away is a reflection of how much he misses you.
EXAMPLE SENTENCES:
- Can you see your reflection in the glass?
- This writer has broken her silence and written an honest, graceful reflection on an important aspect of her life.
