reciprocally

Each to other

In a way that goes both ways—each party giving and receiving in return.

Two countries may reciprocally lower tariffs, each reducing barriers because the other does.

The word emphasizes mutual exchange: They reciprocally agreed to watch each other's dogs.

In technical contexts, reciprocally can mean inversely, as in mathematics where reciprocal numbers multiply to produce one.
