How do you say “in all directions” in a single word?












1














Consider the following example sentence:




Sound is a form of energy that travels in all directions.




How to do you say "in all directions" (which is shown as bold in example sentence) in a single word? There's even shorter than that (all around):




Sound is a form of energy that travels all around.




I have a single word "round" [adverb]:




Sound is a form of energy that travels round.




... which doesn't satisfy me at all, as it denotes a circular motion:




ADVERB
1. so as to rotate or cause
rotation; with circular
motion.

You could use omnidirectionally, though it might sound a bit too technical.



Alternatively, "everywhere" could also be used.

    A common everyday adverb is radially



    Whist it is most often applied in a planar 2D fashion, it can equally be applied to describe travel to or from a point in 3D.




    Sound is a form of energy that travels radially.

    • "Radially" doesn't have much meaning without a defined coordinate system. If it's not clear from the context, it would be more precise to say "Sound is a form of energy that propagates radially from the source (or point of emission)."

    • @Chemomechanics In the OP’s example, I think radially works very well. In that context, “from the source” is strongly implied: there’s no other natural point of emanation.
