radiotherapist

/ɹˌeɪdɪoʊθˈɛɹəpˌɪst/ noun

A therapist who specialises in radiotherapy

Word Origin Radiotherapist combines radio- from Latin radius 'ray, beam' and Greek therapeuein 'to heal' — literally 'one who heals with rays.' Radius originally meant 'rod, spoke of a wheel,' then 'ray of light' because rays radiate like spokes. The same root gives us radiate, radiation, and radish (a root that grows like a spoke). Therapy comes from the Greek for 'attending, healing,' giving us therapist and therapeutic.
