History
Learned borrowing from Latin radiātus (see Etymology 1 and -ate (adjective-forming suffix) for more).
From a substantivation of the above adjective through the associated taxon's name (Radiata), see -ate (noun-forming suffix).
Learned borrowing from Latin radiātus, perfect passive participle of radiō (“to radiate, furnish with spokes, give out rays, radiate, shine”) (see -ate (verb-forming suffix)), from radius (“a spoke, ray”).
