Usage Note
Respectivo is almost always used in the plural respectivos/respectivas to pair two sets: los directores y sus respectivos equipos (the directors and their respective teams). In the singular it sounds formal or legalistic. Note the spelling: it contains the letter c before the t — a common misspelling drops it (respetivo is wrong).
Examples
"Cada uno fue a su respectivo lugar."
Natural Translation
Each one went to their respective place.
