Morphology

isochronic = isochron (semi-transparent) = iso + chron + ic

Formed from the combining elements iso- (equal) + chron- (time) plus -ic; the technical morphemes make the relation somewhat predictable but not fully transparent to average learners.

Etymology

Isochronic comes from Greek parts iso- ('equal') and -chron from chronos ('time'), the same 'chron' you see in chronological. So isochronic describes events or beats that come at equal times or last the same length of time.
