What part of speech is the word herself?

"Herself" is a reflexive pronoun.

Here's why:

* Pronoun: It stands in place of a noun (e.g., she, he, it, they).

* Reflexive: It reflects back to the subject of the sentence. It's used when the subject of the verb is also the object of the verb.

Example:

* "She hurt herself." (She is both the subject and the object of the verb "hurt.")
