Morphology

hydroisopieze = isopieze (semi-transparent) = hydro + iso + pieze

The target is formed by straightforward prefixation of hydro- to the technical base isopieze.

Etymology

The word hydroisopieze is made of three parts: hydro- meaning 'water', iso- meaning 'equal', and -pieze from a word meaning 'to press', like the everyday word 'pressure'. So a hydroisopieze is a line on a map that joins places with the same underground water pressure.
