Etymology
The word 'reflective' comes from the Latin word 'reflectere', which means 'to bend back'. It originally referred to the act of bending or throwing back light, heat, or sound. Over time, the meaning has expanded to include the concept of deep thought and self-awareness. The use of 'reflective' to describe someone who thinks deeply dates back to the 17th century.
