The plural form of 'radius' is 'radii'., The superlative form of 'radius' is 'radius maximum' or simply 'maximum radius'., The comparative form of 'radius' is 'radius minor' or simply 'minor radius'., The absolute form of 'radius' refers to the radius line itself, rather than its length. In this context, the term 'radius' is used as a synonym for 'radius line' or simply 'radius vector'., The adjectival form of 'radius' is used to describe things that are related to the radius or that possess radial symmetry. For example, the term 'radial' is used to describe things such as radial tires, radial engines, or radial symmetrical patterns. Similarly, the term 'radial' is used to describe things such as radial lines, radial vectors, or radial measurements that are related to the radius or that possess radial symmetry.

Etymology

  1. Circle: A circle is a geometric shape that is described as a flat round surface with all points on the surface equidistant from the center of the circle. In mathematical terms, a circle is defined as the set of all points in a plane that are at a constant distance from a fixed point in the plane, which is called the center of the circle.

  2. Centroid: The centroid of a circle is a point within the circle that represents the geometric center or the average position of all the points in the circle. In mathematical terms, the centroid of a circle is defined as the point within the circle where the weighted sum of the distances of all the points in the circle from the centroid is equal to zero. The centroid of a circle is also known as the center of mass or the barycenter of the circle.

  3. Radius of gyration: The radius of gyration of a circle is a measure of the dispersion or spread of the points in the circle around its centroid or center of mass. In mathematical terms, the radius of gyration of a circle is defined as the square root of the sum of the squares of the distances of all the points in the circle from its centroid, divided by the total number of points in the circle. The radius of gyration of a circle is also known as the second radius of curvature or the moment of inertia radius of a circle.

["In ancient Greece, the term 'radius' was used to describe the central beam or axis of a chariot wheel. This usage emphasized the radial symmetry of the wheel, with all spokes radiating outwards from the central axis or hub.", "In modern times, the term 'radius' is most commonly used to describe the length of the radius line from the center of a circle to any point on the circle. This usage emphasizes the relationship between the radius and the circle, with the radius acting as a measure of the size or scale of the circle."]
