radikuly

Radikuly is a plural noun used in several Slavic languages to refer to “radicals” or “roots” depending on context. In science and language studies, the term is applied to basic units such as chemical radicals, mathematical roots, or word morphemes. The precise meaning of radikuly depends on the discipline and language.

In chemistry, a radical is an atom or molecule that contains an unpaired electron, making it highly reactive. Radikaly participate in chain reactions in combustion, polymerization, and atmospheric chemistry. Common examples include the hydroxyl radical (OH•) and the methyl radical (CH3•).

In mathematics, the root of a number is sometimes described as a radical, with the square root symbol √ and nth roots. The radicand is the value under the root, and the radical sign indicates the operation. The term radical is more common in English; in some languages radikuly or related forms may be used to refer to these roots.

In linguistics and etymology, a radical or root is the base form of a word from which other forms are derived, often called the stem or radical. Radikuly can thus denote the lexical core of a word in dictionaries or morphological analyses.

In political or social contexts, radikály can mean radicals or radical movements, often neutral or contextual depending on tone. Because of its multilingual breadth, the exact meaning of radikuly should be inferred from surrounding text.
