Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin 'reciprocus', meaning returning, alternating, or mutual, which is related to 'reciprocare' (to move back and forth). Entering the English language in the 17th century, the adverbial suffix '-ly' was added to the adjective form 'reciprocal' to describe actions or relations moving mutually in both directions.
