What does AXIAL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
technical
Relating to, forming, or arranged along an axis.
Axial describes anything positioned along, or aligned with, a central line running through an object, and it is used across engineering, anatomy and geometry. An axial load on a column, for example, pushes straight down its length rather than sideways, and an axial fan moves air along the same line as its rotating shaft. In medical imaging an axial scan is a cross-section taken at right angles to the long axis of the body, which is why the term appears often on CT and MRI reports. The word comes from axis plus the adjective-forming suffix -al, and it is almost always technical rather than conversational.
