The handshake of feelings, valid only when both hands actually reach out.
means Describing something shared or felt equally by two or more parties, where the same thing flows both ways.
from From Latin mutuus, "borrowed, lent, reciprocal," tied to mutare, "to change" — the same root that gives us mutate and mutation. The underlying image is one of exchange: things passing back and forth between hands. It reached English in the 1400s via French mutuel.
