to reflect
🪞💭 re- (back) + flexionar (bend): bend your thoughts back, like a mirror reflects
Reflexionar comes from Latin reflectere: re- (back) + flectere (to bend). Thought is bent back onto itself, the way light bounces off a mirror. Same root as English reflect and reflex, and flexionar is close to flex.
