Situated away from the center, as opposed to
centrally located.
For example, peripheral vision means the type
of vision that allows one to see objects that are not in the center
of one's visual field.
The word "peripheral" comes from the Greek "peripheria" ("peri-",
around or about + "pherein", to bear, carry). An IV (intravenous)
catheter is a peripheral line.
Common Misspellings: peripheal, periphial, perpheral
