Coreflexed

/koʊrɪˈflɛkst/ adjective

Definition

A rare anatomical or botanical term suggesting something that is bent or flexed at the core or center.

Etymology

From 'co-' + 'reflexed' (from Latin 'reflectere': 're-' back + 'flectere' to bend). This appears to be specialized scientific terminology.

Kelly Says

Scientific terms like this use Latin and Greek roots as building blocks—once you know that 'flex' means bend and 're-' means back, you can understand 'reflexed' means bent backward, even if you've never heard it before.
