Etymology

From de- (“from”) + radical (“of or pretaining to a root”).

Meanings

  1. (especially, historical, not-comparable) Derived directly from a root (rather than from a form that is itself derived).
    • The pattern in (20) is best desctibed as deverbal, in contrast to the deradical pattern in (21) and (22). 2006, D. Gary Miller, “Derivation”, in Latin Suffixal Derivatives in English, Oxford University Press, page 16:
    • Vedic -dhyai, as just alluded to, has been considered by many distinguished scholars to be a deradical rather than a depresential suffix, except in a few special forms. 2013, Benjamin W. Fortson IV, “Latin -(r)ier and its Indo-Iranian congeners”, in Indogermanische Forschungen, number 117, pages 75–118:
    • The deradical derivation of the key elements of the C[aland ]S[ystem] reveals the origin of the system within PIE: as summarized by Rau (2009: 127–131), the Caland System is ultimately based on derivational processes starting from root nouns. 2017, Marek Andrzej Majer, The Caland system in the north: Archaism and innovation in property-concept/state morphology in Balto-Slavic, Harvard University, DPhil dissertation, page 8:
