Meaning of "radially" in English

"Radially" is an adverb that describes something occurring or spreading out from a central point in all directions. It is often used in contexts such as geometry, physics, and engineering to indicate symmetrical expansion or distribution around a center. For example, a light ray emitted from a bulb spreads radially, touching all points equidistantly from the center. The term conveys the sense of a circular or spherical pattern emerging from a central source, illustrating physical or metaphorical dispersion in a radial manner.
