The word “radical” comes from the root word “radix” which is also the root word of “radishes”, “radix” implying the act of getting to the “root of things.” Therefore “radicalism” as it were does not imply a superficial reaction to a problem, rather a return to the root. It is the consideration of a problem with clarity, simplicity, and depth. An underground with substance.
