Having the shape or form of rays or a star; radiating outward from a central point.
From Latin 'actinia' (from Greek 'aktis', ray) + '-form' (Latin suffix meaning 'having the shape of'). Describes anything shaped like radiating rays.
Actiniform shapes show up everywhere in nature and engineering—starfish, flowers, snowflakes, and even gear teeth—because radiating designs are structurally strong and efficient at distributing forces from a center point.
