Equiradial

/ˌɛkwɪˈreɪdiəl/ adjective

Definition

Having radii of equal length; radiating equally in all directions from a center point.

Etymology

From Latin 'equi-' (equal) + 'radius' (ray or spoke). This geometric term combines the prefix with the Latin word for the spoke of a wheel.

Kelly Says

A perfect circle is equiradial—every point on the circle is exactly the same distance from the center, which is why circles are so useful for wheels and compasses!
