Usage Note

Recíprocamente is the adverbial form of recíproco (reciprocal) and signals that an action is performed by both parties toward each other. It is more formal than mutuamente and appears frequently in legal and diplomatic texts. In everyday speech, Spanish often uses the reflexive plural (se ayudan) rather than the adverb to convey reciprocity.

Examples

"Se respetan recíprocamente."
