Something you should have learned as a freshman is....English.
The OP said wanted to know where the _term_ "radius of gyration" originated,
which I thought was a valid question. I started to reach for my copy of

You're really quite an asshole for insulting someone like that on a public
forum. Some of the respect for you I've accumulated over the years somehow
just disappeared.
