réfléchie

réfléchie is a French adjective meaning thoughtful, reflective, or considered. It is the feminine form of the masculine adjective réfléchi. The word originates from the verb réfléchir, which means to think, to ponder, or to reflect. When something is described as réfléchie, it implies that it has been arrived at through careful consideration and deliberation. This can apply to a person's personality, suggesting they are introspective and prone to deep thought, or to an action, decision, or statement, indicating that it was not impulsive but rather well-reasoned. For example, a "décision réfléchie" is a decision that has been thought through thoroughly. Similarly, a "personne réfléchie" is someone who takes time to consider before speaking or acting. The concept of being réfléchie emphasizes a process of internal contemplation and the weighing of different possibilities or consequences before reaching a conclusion or taking a course of action. It stands in contrast to impulsivity or superficiality, highlighting a deeper engagement with a subject or situation.
