Reagere, reactio does not belong to classical Latin. Reagere appears, as late as the fourth century A.D., in Avienus, but not reactio. Nonetheless, antiquity was not unaware of the concept of reciprocal action, where the "patient" reacts in return on the agent. The Aristotelian doctrine of antiperistasis occupied physicists up until the time of Galileo: "All movers, as long as they move, are at the same time moved." The Latin authors dispense with reagere and reactio. It is the verb pati, designating the passive state to which the prefix re is added in the aphorism attributed to the Scholastics in the 18th century dictionaries: omnis agens agendo repatitur
