Morphology

equimolar = molar (transparent) = equi + molar

The prefix 'equi-' clearly denotes equality, making the meaning directly derivable from 'molar'.

Etymology

The word equimolar breaks into equi- ('equal') and molar from mole ('a unit for amount in chemistry'). So, equimolar means having 'equal' amounts measured in moles.
