ReciprocityMutuality; state, quality or character of that which is reciprocal.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
State
1) Government. In its most enlarged sense, it signifies a self-sufficient body of persons united together in one community for the defence of their rights, and to do right and justice to foreigners. In this sense, the state means the whole people united into one body politic; and the state, and the people of the state, are equivalent expressions. 2) Condition of persons. This word has various acceptations. If we inquire into its origin, it will be found to come from the Latin status, which is derived from the verb stare, sto, whence has been made statio, which signifies the place where a person is located, stat, to fulfil the obligations which are imposed upon him.
Quality
1) Persons. The state or condition of a person. 2) pleading. That which distinguishes one thing from another of the same kind.
Character
The qualities impressed by nature or habit on a person, which distinguish him from other persons. These constitute his real character; while the qualities he is supposed to possess constitute his estimated character or reputation. "Reputation" may be evidence of character, but is not character itself. 8 Barb. 608 (1850). That which a person really is, in distinction from that which he may be reputed to be.
