Word of the Day

To reciprocate is to do something for or to someone who has done something similar for or to you. Reciprocate can also mean “to have (a feeling) for someone who has the same feeling for you.”

It was kind of my friend to give me a ride to the airport, and on the flight I was thinking of how to reciprocate the favor.
