Etymology: "Radiused" is a plain formation: the Latin "radius," meaning a ray, spoke or rod, has been turned into an English adjective by adding the "-ed" ending, so it describes something that has been given a radius or rounded curve. The word is a piecewise doublet of "rayed," meaning the two words share a common ancestor and have each developed separately, one through the "radius" route and the other through the older "rayed" form. "Rayed" describes something marked with rays or spokes, which is close in sense to the older geometric idea of a radius as a line running out from a centre.
