Study pattern and reflect (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

contemplate

'reflect' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'study pattern' is the wordplay.
'study' becomes 'con' (con can informally mean to study).
'pattern' becomes 'template' (I've seen this before).
'con'+'template'='CONTEMPLATE'

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for contemplate that I've seen before include "Intend" , "Look at thoughtfully" , "Ruminate on" , "Think seriously" , "Consider" .)
