‘Radical’ comes from a Latin word meaning "root."
Because roots are the deepest part of a plant, ‘radical’ came to describe things understood as fundamental or essential.
‘Radical change’ was a change at the root of a system.

Here DOJ argues that the Arch isn’t a “building,” either. (Under the Height of Buildings Act, buildings in DC are generally limited to 130 feet.) DOJ cites a dictionary definition that appears to refute its own argument: “building” means “that which is built …”

![The Arch is not a "building" under the HBA.
The HBA applies only to "buildings." See 36 Stat. at 454. Contrary to Plaintiffs' assertions,
the Arch is not a "building" as the term was defined in 1910. Tellingly, Plaintiffs omit the following italicized language from the 1913 dictionary definition of "building," "[t]hat which is
built; a fabric or edifice constructed, as a house, a church, etc." Compare TRO Br. 26 with Webster's Unabridged Dictionary at *1646 1913), https://archive.org/details/2976582. The use of
"house" and "church" to define "building," demonstrates that the term encompassed edifices that shelter the activities occurring inside, as distinguished from other structures. A free-standing Arch is more like a monument, tower, or sculpture than a "house" or a "church." The Arch does not exist to shelter activities occurring inside-much like the Washington Monument does not exist to
shelter activities inside, even though it contains an elevator and viewing areas.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vrmx2e5gsi23srsy2n7vljvb/bafkreih5byzbf5fg3sgz5q336de5ndmxpn46f2msnsiaij5gqs2f2wgpjy)
