<BR>mirror: belongs to a small family of English words which illustrate how a 
<BR>Latin term originally signifying 'wonder at' weakened (presumably via 
<BR>'stare in wonder at') to 'look at'. Etymologically, a mirror is something 
<BR>you ' look at' yourself in. The word comes via Old French mirour from 
<BR>Vulgar Latin *miraatoorium, a derivative of * miraare 'look at'. This was 
<BR>closely related to classical Latin miraari ' wonder at' (a derivative of 
<BR>mirus 'wonderful'), which was passed into Old French as mirer 'look at', 
<BR>sorce of mirage. Based on miraari were Latin miraablis 'wonderful' (source 
<BR>of English marvel) and miraaculam 'something to be wondered at' (orce of 
<BR>English miracle)
