vectorial

Relating to vectors

Vectorial means relating to or involving vectors—quantities that have both magnitude and direction.

The term appears in mathematics, physics, and biology: vectorial analysis, vectorial transport across cell membranes.

It describes phenomena where directionality matters, not just amount.
