## Definition

having a surface that reflects light like a mirror, or looking exactly like something else.

For teachers: having a reflective surface; alternatively, exhibiting a symmetrical or identical correspondence to another entity. Often used to describe architectural glass or parallel data structures.

## Examples

- The mirrored walls make the small room look much larger.
- The skyscraper's mirrored exterior reflects the clouds, making the massive building blend into the skyline.
- The novelist uses a mirrored narrative structure, where the events of the final chapter precisely echo the themes introduced in the opening pages to create a sense of inevitability.

## Usage notes

- Often used attributively before a noun or predicatively after a linking verb like 'is' or 'looks'.
