kwId pro kwo
noun
(Latin) one thing in return for another.
He expects a quid pro quo after helping with my legislation.
As a legal matter, it’s not necessary to find a quid pro quo. “The most significant and powerful forms of corruption today are precisely those that thrive without depending upon quid pro quos for their effectiveness.” That was Harvard professor Lawrence Lessing — talking about the Bob McDonnell case. Oh yes, that. Back then there was a similar false comfort in the lack of a quid pro quo. “Is there proof that [Jonnie] Williams, in giving those gifts, demanded reciprocation for his company? No. At least not yet. But that doesn’t mean that McDonnell and his family weren’t inclined to look at Williams and Star Scientific more favorably because of the financial assistance they were given.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/right-turn/wp/2015/04/24/the-phony-quid-pro-quo-standard/
