What does it mean word for word?

The phrase is a literal translation of the English expression: el sentimiento means "the feeling" and es mutuo means "is mutual".

In high-tension arguments, saying el sentimiento es mutuo can be used sarcastically to tell someone that you dislike them as much as they dislike you.
In many Spanish-speaking cultures, instead of using a full sentence like el sentimiento es mutuo, it is very common to simply respond with igualmente ('likewise') to express that a sentiment is shared.
The Latin root of mutuo is 'mūtuus', which refers to something that is given and taken back. This historical connection to a 'loan' or 'exchange' underpins the modern idea of a feeling being returned to you.
