Morphology

equidistantly = equidistant (transparent) = equi + distant + ly

The adverb is a regular -ly formation from the adjective 'equidistant', which itself transparently combines equi- ('equal') with 'distant'.

Etymology

The word equidistantly breaks into equi- meaning 'equal' and distant meaning 'far', like the common words equal and distance. So, something placed equidistantly is put 'at equal distances' from two or more points.
