Morphology

isometry = isometric (semi-transparent) = iso + metry

Derived by nominalizing 'isometric'; the morphological relation is regular but the word is technical.

Etymology

Isometry comes from the Greek parts iso- 'equal' and -metry from metron 'measure'. So it is used in science to mean 'equal measure', for example when heights or lengths are the same.
