1. Recurring in vicissitude; alternate.
[1913 Webster]
2. Done by each to the other; interchanging or interchanged;
given and received; due from each to each; mutual; as,
reciprocal love; reciprocal duties.

[1913 Webster]
Reciprocal equation (Math.), one which remains unchanged in
form when the reciprocal of the unknown quantity is
substituted for that quantity.
Reciprocal figures (Geom.), two figures of the same kind
(as triangles, parallelograms, prisms, etc.), so related
that two sides of the one form the extremes of a
proportion of which the means are the two corresponding
sides of the other; in general, two figures so related
that the first corresponds in some special way to the
second, and the second corresponds in the same way to the
first.
Reciprocal proportion (Math.), a proportion such that, of
four terms taken in order, the first has to the second the
same ratio which the fourth has to the third, or the first
has to the second the same ratio which the reciprocal of
the third has to the reciprocal of the fourth. Thus, 2:5:
:20:8 form a reciprocal proportion, because 2:5:
:1/20:1/8.
Reciprocal quantities (Math.), any two quantities which
produce unity when multiplied together.
Reciprocal ratio (Math.), the ratio between the reciprocals

Syn: Mutual; alternate.
Usage: Reciprocal, Mutual. The distinctive idea of mutual
is, that the parties unite by interchange in the same
act; as, a mutual covenant; mutual affection, etc. The
distinctive idea of reciprocal is, that one party acts
by way of return or response to something previously
done by the other party; as, a reciprocal kindness;
reciprocal reproaches, etc. Love is reciprocal when
the previous affection of one party has drawn forth
the attachment of the other. To make it mutual in the
strictest sense, the two parties should have fallen in
love at the same time; but as the result is the same,
the two words are here used interchangeably. The
ebbing and flowing of the tide is a case where the
action is reciprocal, but not mutual.
[1913 Webster]Reciprocal \Re*cip"ro*cal\, n.
1. That which is reciprocal to another thing.
[1913 Webster]
Corruption is a reciprocal to generation. --Bacon.
[1913 Webster]
2. (Arith. & Alg.) The quotient arising from dividing unity
by any quantity; thus 1/4 is the reciprocal of 4; 1/(a +
b) is the reciprocal of a + b. The reciprocal of a
fraction is the fraction inverted, or the denominator
divided by the numerator.
