Clearly, secantial is to tangential as secant is to tangent.
From the wikipedia page on tangential:
"Related Meaning
To "go off on a tangent" means to go off topic, likely derived the geometric meaning of a tangent."
So, to "go off on a secant" means to go off topic, but to return to the topic, and it is derived from the geometric meaning of a secant.
