re·quite

?Which word?

Keep the give-back words together: requite, reciprocate (do the same in return: 'reciprocate a greeting'), repay, reward, avenge (punish for a wrong done to somebody), retaliate (harm somebody in return).

प्रतिदान के शब्द साथ याद रखिए: requite, reciprocate (बदले में वैसा ही करना: 'reciprocate a greeting'), repay, reward, avenge (किसी के साथ हुए अन्याय का दंड देना), retaliate (बदले में हानि पहुँचाना)।

§Grammar and usage

Usage: requite is rare; its opposite unrequited is common ('unrequited love', love that is not returned).

प्रयोग में requite दुर्लभ है; उसका विपरीत unrequited आम है ('unrequited love', एकतरफ़ा प्रेम)।
