"Radical" comes from Late Latin radicalis, from Latin radix, radic- "root", whose own root is Proto-Indo-European *wrād- "branch, root".

@vincentbiret I kind of regret injecting it in there, as point of confusion -- but the confusion doesn't go away cause the spec is called APIs.json and often available as YAML. .
