Etimologia
The phrase "to reflect on" comes from the Latin word 'reflectere,' meaning 'to bend back.' Originally used in a physical sense like light bending back, it evolved metaphorically to mean thinking deeply or turning one's thoughts back to past events. Did you know? This mental 'bending back' is why we say we reflect on ideas.
