Morphology
isochronic = isochron (semi-transparent) = iso + chron + ic
Built from Greek combining forms iso- (equal) + chron- (time); the meaning 'equal/same time' is directly signalled but relies on technical combining forms rather than common standalone English words.
Etymology
Isochronic comes from Greek parts iso- ('equal') and -chron from chronos ('time'), like in synchronize. So isochronic means things that happen at exactly the same time or are 'equal in time'.
