Consider what a mirror does (7)
I believe the answer is:
reflect
'consider' is the definition.
(I know that consider is a kind of reflect)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for reflect that I've seen before include "Ponder; send back" , "Contemplate like mirror" , "Ponder or produce an image" , "Ponder, contemplate" , "chew the cud" .)
