Radical \Rad"i*cal\, a. [F., fr. L. radicalis having roots, fr.       radix, -icis, a root. See {Radix}.]       1. Of or pertaining to the root; proceeding directly from the             root.          2. Hence: Of or pertaining to the root or origin; reaching to             the center, to the foundation to the ultimate sources to             the principles, or the like: original; fundamental;             thorough-going; unsparing; extreme; as, radical evils;             radical reform; a radical party.                         The most determined exertions of that authority,                      against them, only showed their radical                      independence.                                    --Burke.          3. (Bot.)             (a) Belonging to, or proceeding from, the root of a plant;                   as, radical tubers or hairs.             (b) Proceeding from a rootlike stem, or one which does not                   rise above the ground; as, the radical leaves of the                   dandelion and the sidesaddle flower.          4. (Philol.) Relating, or belonging, to the root, or ultimate             source of derivation; as, a radical verbal form.          5. (Math.) Of or pertaining to a radix or root; as, a radical             quantity; a radical sign. See below.          {Radical axis of two circles}. (Geom.) See under {Axis}.          {Radical pitch}, the pitch or tone with which the utterance             of a syllable begins. --Rush.          {Radical quantity} (Alg.), a quantity to which the radical             sign is prefixed; specifically, a quantity which is not a             perfect power of the degree indicated by the radical sign;             a surd.          {Radical sign} (Math.), the sign [root] (originally the             letter r, the initial of radix, root), placed before any             quantity, denoting that its root is to be extracted; thus,             [root]a, or [root](a + b). To indicate any other than the             square root, a corresponding figure is placed over the             sign; thus [cuberoot]a, indicates the third or cube root             of a.          {Radical stress} (Elocution), force of utterance falling on             the initial part of a syllable or sound.          {Radical vessels} (Anat.), minute vessels which originate in             the substance of the tissues.          Syn: Primitive; original; natural; underived; fundamental;                entire.          Usage: {Radical}, {Entire}. These words are frequently                   employed as interchangeable in describing some marked                   alternation in the condition of things. There is,                   however, an obvious difference between them. A radical                   cure, reform, etc., is one which goes to the root of                   the thing in question; and it is entire, in the sense                   that, by affecting the root, it affects in a                   appropriate degree the entire body nourished by the                   root; but it may not be entire in the sense of making                   a change complete in its nature, as well as in its                   extent. Hence, we speak of a radical change; a radical                   improvement; radical differences of opinion; while an                   entire change, an entire improvement, an entire                   difference of opinion, might indicate more than was                   actually intended. A certain change may be both                   radical and entire, in every sense.

Radical \Rad"i*cal\, a. [F., fr. L. radicalis having roots, fr.       radix, -icis, a root. See {Radix}.]       1.
