Word of the day - Centrifugal

Did not know this word existed till Pedro said it. So it's interesting in that sense.

cen·trif·u·gal

1. Moving or directed away from a center or axis.

2. Operated by means of centrifugal force.

3. Physiology. Transmitting nerve impulses away from the central nervous system; efferent.

4. Botany. Developing or progressing outward from a center or axis, as in a flower cluster in
which the oldest flowers are in the center and the youngest flowers are near the edge.

5. Tending or directed away from centralization, as of authority: “The division of Europe into two warring blocs, each ultimately dependent on a superpower patron, is subject to ever-increasing centrifugal stress” (Scott Sullivan).
