Radiate


Definition:

  • (v. i.) To emit rays; to be radiant; to shine.
  • (v. i.) To proceed in direct lines from a point or surface; to issue in rays, as light or heat.
  • (v. t.) To emit or send out in direct lines from a point or points; as, to radiate heat.
  • (v. t.) To enlighten; to illuminate; to shed light or brightness on; to irradiate.
