mutually

/ˈmjutʃuəɫi/ adv C1 ✓

In the same way, each to the other; reciprocally.

Word Origin Mutual comes from Latin mutuus, meaning reciprocal exchange, rooted in mutare 'to change'. The idea is that when something is mutual, it's a two-way change. The same root gives us commute (change together), mutation (a change), and immutable (unchangeable). So mutually is 'in a reciprocal way'.
