reciprocantn.

Brit.

/rᵻˈsɪprək(ə)nt/, U.S.

/rəˈsɪprək(ə)nt/,

/riˈsɪprək(ə)nt/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin reciprocant-, reciprocāns.

Etymology: < classical Latin reciprocant-, reciprocāns, present participle of reciprocāre reciprocate v.

Mathematics.

1. = polar reciprocal n. at polar adj. and n. Compounds. Now disused.

ΚΠ

1852 J. J. Sylvester in Cambr. & Dubl. Math. Jrnl. 7 180 Calling r the resultant of (x, y)⁴, R the resultant of (x, y, z)³, ρ the polar reciprocal, or, more briefly, the reciprocant of (x, y, z)⁴..we have the following equations [etc.].

1913 E. B. Elliott Introd. Algebra Quantics (ed. 2) xvi. 400 Such a contravariant has been called the reciprocant of a ternary quantic.

2. An expression involving derivatives of a function y with respect to a variable x which has the same form (up to multiplication by a factor) when expressed with derivatives of x considered as a function of y. Now historical.

† reciprocantive adj. Obsolete rare of or relating to a reciprocant (sense 2).

ΚΠ

1886 J. J. Sylvester in Nature 7 Jan. 225/1 A pure reciprocant, by virtue of its reciprocantive character, must remain unaltered save as to the immaterial fact of its acquiring a factor containing merely the constants of substitution.
