  1. tending to move away from a center

Word origin

From New Latin centrifugālis, coined by Christiaan Huygens from Latin centrum (“center”) + fugiō (“to flee”) + -al.

Used in a sentence

  • Where the sequencing of the centrifugals is accomplished by the triggering of a function in the process cycle, a buffer zone (nonproductive time) has to be inserted in the cycle time prior to this action.
  • Modern practice favours warming the massecuite in pug mills, placed above the centrifugals.
