unreflective

/ˌʌnɹᵻflˈɛktɪv/ adj

Not reflective; thoughtless

Word Origin Reflect comes from Latin re- 'back' and flectere 'to bend'—literally 'to bend back,' as light bends back from a surface. Unreflective means not bending back, not thoughtful. The root flectere gives us flexible, deflect (bend away), inflect (bend in), and genuflect (bend the knee).
