A technical word meaning 'relating to, or along, an axis' - an axis being the straight, central line something turns around or is measured from, like the Earth's axis, the line it spins around. You'll mostly meet this word in science, engineering, or medical contexts, like 'axial rotation' (spinning around a central line) or an 'axial CT scan' (a body scan taken in cross-section slices, cutting across that central line).
軸的;沿軸的
組成axis + al. 'Axis' is the central line, and '-al' turns it into a describing word meaning 'relating to.'
