Root Explanation

Radiologically → It is formed from "radiology" (from the Latin "radius", meaning ray, and the Greek "logia", meaning study) and the suffix "-ically" (meaning in a manner relating to). The word "radiologically" refers to something that pertains to the study of rays, particularly in the context of medical imaging.

Memory Tip

Think of 'rays' ('radius') being studied ('logia') — and the '-ically' just means in a manner related to that study. This helps you remember that 'radiologically' means in a manner related to the study of rays.
