reciprocated
Given back equally
Reciprocated describes something given or done in return.
When feelings are reciprocated, they're felt by both parties: Her affection was not reciprocated.
When actions are reciprocated, they're matched: He reciprocated the favor.
The word often appears in contexts of unrequited love or mutual exchange—reciprocated feelings are shared, unreciprocated ones are one-sided.
