Morphology
isochronous = isochron (semi-transparent) = iso + chron + ous
The adjective is formed by adding '-ous' to the technical base 'isochron'; the morphological construction is regular but the base is a specialized combining form unfamiliar to average learners.
Etymology
Isochronous comes from the Greek parts iso- meaning 'equal' and chron- meaning 'time', the same root you see in synchronize, which means 'to make things happen at the same time'. So isochronous describes events that happen at 'equal' 'time' intervals, like regular beats or signals.
