Etymology

The term 'radiated' derives from the Latin word 'radiatus', which means 'to emit rays'. This root is associated with the Latin 'radius', meaning 'ray' or 'spoke of a wheel'. The concept has been used in various scientific contexts since the early development of thermodynamics and electromagnetic theory in the 19th century. The understanding of radiation and its applications has vastly expanded with advances in technology and science, particularly in nuclear physics and astronomy. Over time, the word has taken on broader meanings beyond its original physical connotations, encapsulating various forms of energy transmission.
