reflectional
Showing symmetric reversal
Reflectional describes something relating to or involving reflection, whether of light, images, or thought.
In geometry, reflectional symmetry means a shape can be divided by a line so each half mirrors the other.
The term appears in technical and mathematical contexts more often than everyday speech.
