dilated
This term carries a clinical and precise tone, often associated with biological or mechanical expansion. It describes a specific type of widening that happens from the center outward, creating a circular or spherical enlargement. While "expand" is a general term for growth, "dilate" suggests a stretching of an existing opening or vessel.
