Radically
Radically (/rædɪkəli/), from the Latin radix meaning "root", is a term often used in medical contexts to describe a procedure or treatment that is thorough or complete, particularly in relation to the removal of disease or abnormal tissue.
Etymology
The term radically is derived from the Latin radix, which translates to "root". In a medical context, it is used to denote the complete or thorough removal of disease or abnormal tissue, similar to how one might remove a plant "by the roots" to ensure it does not grow back.
