Morphology
reciprocal = reciprocate + reciprocity (semi-transparent) = reciproc + al
The adjective is formed from the Latin-derived stem plus -al and is related to 'reciprocate/reciprocity', but the combining stem 'reciproc-' is not a standalone English word, so some learners may not infer the meaning directly.
Etymology
Reciprocal comes from the old Latin word reciprocus, which means 'returning' or moving 'back and forth', and it is the same root as reciprocate. Think of two people who keep giving back to each other, so a reciprocal relationship is mutual.
