EN: Radical.
This is the 'Level 99' version of an idea or a person. Not just a little change, but a total system reboot. A 'radikal' idea is something that makes your traditional titos and titas nervous at family gatherings. A 'radikal' person is the one who doesn't just complain about traffic; they propose banning all private cars. It's extreme, it's thorough, and it definitely shakes things up.
From Spanish 'radical', from Latin 'radicalis' meaning 'of or having roots'.
Used in political, social, and scientific contexts to mean fundamental or extreme. Can also be a noun ('isang radikal') to refer to a person holding such views.
