reflexityn.

Brit.

/rᵻˈflɛksᵻti/, U.S.

/rəˈflɛksədi/,

/riˈflɛksədi/

Forms: 1500s reflexite, 1700s– reflexity.

Origin: Probably of multiple origins. Apparently partly a borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Probably also partly formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: Latin reflexus , -ity suffix; reflex adj., -ity suffix.

Etymology: In sense 1 apparently < post-classical Latin reflexus reflex adj. + -ity suffix. In later use probably < reflex adj. + -ity suffix. With sense 2 compare earlier reflexibility n. With sense 3 compare earlier reflexivity n.

†1. Shining, reflection. Obsolete. rare.
