Mirror
Fleet Street daily
A mirror is a surface that reflects light to form an image, typically glass coated with metal.
Mirrors show us ourselves and what's behind us: She checked her reflection in the mirror, the rearview mirror.
To mirror something is to reflect or imitate it closely: His expression mirrored her concern.
A mirror image is a reversed duplicate.
