power".

For good reason. You feed a transmission line into an open circuit at
its far end, and the power arriving at the open has no where to go but
to return towards its generator. What happens at the generator upon
arrival of the power reflected from the mismatched load depends on the
vector values of incident and reflected waves as well as the impedance
of the generator.

Searching the net for "reflected r-f power" returned over 25,000
examples. Belief in reverse power is obviously common.
