Forms: 1500s reciprocacyon, 1500s– reciprocation, 1600s reciprocration.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin reciprocātiōn-, reciprocātiō.

Etymology: < classical Latin reciprocātiōn-, reciprocātiō movement backwards and forwards, movement in the reverse direction, turn of the tide, exchange, alternation, in post-classical Latin also (in grammar) reflexive action (6th cent.) < reciprocāt- , past participial stem of reciprocāre reciprocate v. + -iō -ion suffix¹. Compare Middle French, French †réciprocation action or practice of offering a response in kind, or of doing one thing in return for another (1549).The form reciprocration in quot. 1641 at sense 4b probably results from assimilation; compare similar forms at reciprocate v. and reciprocal adj.

1. Grammar and Linguistics. Reflexive or mutual action or mode of expression; (also) an instance of this. Cf. reciprocal adj. 9.
