irradiative

/ɪɹˈeɪdiətˌɪv/ adj

That involves radiation.

Word Origin From Latin 'radius' (a ray or beam) with the prefix 'ir-' (a form of 'in-', meaning into) — so 'irradiative' means 'tending to shine into.' The root 'radi-' is everywhere: 'radiant' (shining), 'radiation' (spreading out like rays), and even 'radio' (which sends signals through rays). The idea of light beaming outward is at the heart of all these words.
