The bending back or reflection of light, sound, or other waves; specifically the property of a surface causing reflection.
From Greek 'ana-' (back) + 'kampsis' (bending). A technical term from optics and acoustics developed in scientific literature.
Anacampsis describes how a curved mirror bends light back at you—it's the optical principle that makes parabolic satellite dishes and car headlights focus beams with perfect precision.
