Morphology

isogonic = isogon (semi-transparent) = iso + gon + ic

Formed by suffixing '-ic' to the technical geometric noun 'isogon' (iso- + gon); the meaning 'having equal angles' is direct but relies on specialized combining forms unfamiliar to many learners.

Etymology

Isogonic comes from Greek parts iso- meaning 'equal' and gonia (seen in -gonic) meaning 'angle', as in hexagon. So, an isogonic shape or line is one that has equal angles.
