noun rrah-dyah-DOHR Rare
Origin: From Latin radiare, 'to emit rays', via French radiateur.
Usage Note
Radiador can refer to a home heating radiator, a car's engine coolant radiator, or any heat-dissipating device. In Spain, home radiators are typically part of central heating (calefacción central); the term calefactor more specifically denotes a standalone electric heater. The verb radiar is related but primarily means 'to broadcast' or 'to radiate' rather than 'to heat'.
Examples
"El radiador calienta bien toda la habitación."
Natural Translation
The radiator heats the whole room well.
