contents Nuclear charge radii of neutron-rich $^{47-49}$Sc isotopes were measured using collinear laser spectroscopy at CERN-ISOLDE. The new data reveal that the charge radii of scandium isotopes exhibit a distinct trend between $N=20$ and $N=28$, with $^{41}$Sc and $^{49}$Sc isotopes having similar values, mirroring the closeness of the charge radii of $^{40}$Ca and $^{48}$Ca. Theoretical models that successfully interpret the radii of calcium isotopes could not account for the observed behavior in scandium radii, in particular the reduced odd-even staggering. Remarkably, the inclusion of the new $^{49}$Sc radius data has unveiled a similar trend in the charge radii of $N=28$ isotones and $Z=20$ isotopes when adding the neutrons atop the $^{40}$Ca core and the protons atop the $^{48}$Ca core, respectively. We demonstrate that this trend is consistent with the prediction of the seniority model.
