What part of speech is the word yourself?

The word "yourself" is a reflexive pronoun.

Here's why:

* Pronoun: It replaces a noun (e.g., "You should take care of yourself" - "yourself" replaces "you").

* Reflexive: It reflects back to the subject of the sentence (e.g., "You" are taking care of "yourself").
