mutuality
含义: The condition of sharing feelings, actions, or relationships in equal measure; a state of mutual dependence or benefit.
Mutuality emphasises the shared, two-way nature of a relationship or arrangement, and is common in discussions of partnerships, cooperatives, and emotional bonds. In British financial services, 'mutuality' refers specifically to the ownership model of building societies and mutual insurers, where members are both customers and owners. The word also appears in therapeutic and counselling discourse to describe balanced, non-exploitative relationships.
