mutually 可以想成兩支箭頭對著彼此，而不是一支箭頭指向一邊。後面接什麼，它就把那件事變成雙向的：你對我、我也對你，或者兩邊一起被影響到。這個字做的事情就只有這一件。它出現在哪個說法裡，都只是那對箭頭換了個用途。From the word’s history
The packet's Wiktionary etymology gives mutually as mutual + -ly: the adjective for something two sides share, turned into a word that describes how an action or state works.
來源的字源說明是 mutual 加 -ly。mutual 指「兩邊都有份的」，-ly 把它變成描述動作或狀態的副詞，所以 mutually 就是「以兩邊都有份的方式」——正好就是那對互指的箭頭。

兩邊互相擠掉
箭頭還是雙向的，但這次兩邊互相推開：A 成立，B 就不能成立。
r · C1
If two ideas, beliefs or choices are mutually exclusive, they cannot both be true or both happen at the same time — accepting one shuts the other out.
