Morphology

isochalaz = iso + chalaz

Although 'iso-' (equal) is recognizable, the root 'chalaz' is a specialized combining form (not a standalone English word), so learners cannot reliably infer the meaning from the parts.

Etymology

Isochalaz comes from the parts iso- meaning 'equal' (seen in words like isobar) and chalaz meaning 'hail'. So an isochalaz is a line on a map that joins places with the same number of hail storms.
