Root Explanation

Radially → It is formed from "radius" (from Latin *radius*, meaning ray or spoke) and the suffix "-ally" (meaning in a manner relating to). The word "radially" means in a manner that relates to or resembles rays or spokes, often used in contexts involving circular or spherical shapes.

Memory Tip

Think of 'radius' as a line extending from the center of a circle, and remember that 'radially' describes something that relates to or spreads out like rays from that center.
