The components 'radio' and 'logic' are clear, but the specific meaning related to ionizing radiation is specialized.

Etymology

Radiologic comes from the Latin root radius, meaning 'ray', and the ending -logic, meaning 'about' or 'study of'. So radiologic in the sense of hazards is about dangerous 'rays' and their effects, which is why it describes radiation contamination and exposure.
