It's twice the radius of a circle (8)

I believe the answer is:

diameter

(Other definitions for diameter that I've seen before include "Circle's width" , "Line that crosses the centre of a circle" , "Line crossing centre of sphere" , "Maximum distance across circle" , "A demerit for line bisecting a circle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
