Etymology of reflection?

I've never found a clear explanation for the etymology of reflection in the context of computer languages, so I want to clarify this here.

Latin definition for: reflecto, reflectere, reflexi, reflexus

Definitions:

• bend back
• turn back
• turn round

So the idea behind it is a language that is able to bend back on itself, to be able to look and manipulate its own code.

Or is there something else?
