词源
mutual (adj.)late 15c., “reciprocally given and received,” originally of feelings, from Old French mutuel (14c.), from Latin mutuus “reciprocal, done in exchange,” from PIE root *mei- (1) “to change, go, move,” “with derivatives referring to the exchange of goods and services within a society as regulated by custom or law” [Watkins].
The meaning “common” is from 1630s. “Used in this sense loosely and improperly (but not infrequently, and by many writers of high rank), especially in the phrase a mutual friend” [Century Dictionary].

That is
common which pertains equally to two or more persons or things. That is
mutual which is freely interchanged: mutual love, affection, hatred. The word is sometimes incorrectly used for
common:
our mutual friend, a phrase of very frequent occurrence, no doubt owing to the perfectly correct ‘mutual friendship.’ [J.H.A. Günther, “English Synonyms Explained & Illustrated,” Groningen, 1904]

Mutual Admiration Society (1851) seems to have been coined by Thoreau. Mutual fund is recorded from 1950.
The Cold War’s mutual assured destruction is attested from 1966. Assured destruction was a 1962 term in U.S. military policy circles in reference to nuclear weapons as a deterrent, popularized c. 1964 by Robert McNamara, U.S. Secretary of Defense under Lyndon Johnson, e.g. statement before House Armed Services Committee, Feb. 18, 1965. The notion was “the minimum threat necessary to assure deterrence: the capability to exterminate not less than one third of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics’ (USSR) population in a retaliatory nuclear attack.” [Martin Folly, “Historical Dictionary of U.S. Diplomacy During the Cold War”].
By 1964, as the Soviet Union caught up to NATO in ICBMs, the mutual was added, perhaps first by Donald Brennan, conservative defense analyst and a public critic of the policy, who also noted the acronym MAD.)Related entries & more

下面是词源的翻译(机器翻译比较难翻,参考着看)
相互的(形容词)晚15世纪,“相互给予和接受”,最初是感情,源自古法语mutuel(14世纪),源自拉丁语mutuus“互惠,交换”,源自PIE根*mei-(1)“改变、去、移动”,“衍生品指的是社会内受习俗或法律监管的商品和服务的交换”[沃特金斯]。 “常见”的意思来自 1630 年代。 “在这个意义上使用得松散且不恰当(但并不罕见,并且被许多高级作家使用),尤其是在“共同的朋友”这个短语中”[世纪词典]。这是常见的,同样适用于两个或两个以上的人或事物。那是相互的,可以自由互换:相互爱、相互爱、相互恨。这个词有时会被错误地用来表示“共同的”:我们共同的朋友,这个词出现得非常频繁,毫无疑问是由于完全正确的“相互友谊”。 [JHA Günther,“英语同义词解释与说明”,格罗宁根,1904 年] 相互钦佩协会(1851 年)似乎是梭罗创造的。共同基金是从 1950 年开始记录的。冷战时期的“相互保证毁灭”是从 1966 年开始得到证实的。“保证毁灭”是 1962 年美国军事政策圈中的一个术语,指的是核武器作为一种威慑力量,大约在 1997 年普及。 1964 年,林登·约翰逊领导下的美国国防部长罗伯特·麦克纳马拉 (Robert McNamara),例如 1965 年 2 月 18 日在众议院军事委员会发表的声明。这一概念是“确保威慑所需的最小威胁:消灭不少于三分之一的人员的能力”。苏维埃社会主义共和国联盟(苏联)人民遭受报复性核攻击。” [马丁·弗利,《冷战期间美国外交历史词典》]。到 1964 年,当苏联在洲际弹道导弹方面赶上北约时,增加了互助,这可能是由保守派国防分析家兼该政策的公开批评者唐纳德·布伦南 (Donald Brennan) 首先添加的,他还注意到了缩写词 MAD。)相关条目及更多
