"Deflexion" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
In physics, deflexion refers to the change in direction of a moving body or object due to the application of a force.
A deflector is a device or object that deflects or changes the direction of something, such as a beam of energy, a projectile, or a physical force. In physics, a deflector is often used to describe a device that alters the trajectory of a particle or a beam of particles, such as in particle accelerators or telescopes. In everyday language, a deflector can also refer to a device or mechanism that deflects or diverts the flow of something, such as a fluid or a gas.
To deflect something means to prevent it from happening or to change its direction, often by using a blocking motion or an obstacle. It can also mean to turn someone's words or attitudes back onto them, often in a clever or witty way. For example, if someone is trying to insult you, you might deflect their criticism by turning it back on them and pointing out their own flaws.
Deflocculate: to separate or break up floccules, which are small, rounded masses or clumps of particles or fibers, typically in a liquid or suspension.
