Surface Forms
Morphology
isopieze = iso + piez
The term is built from technical combining forms (iso- 'equal' + piez- 'pressure') that are not independent English words, so an average B1 learner cannot derive the meaning from known base words.
Etymology
Isopieze comes from the parts iso- meaning 'equal', like in isobar, and piez- meaning 'pressure'. So, an isopieze is a line on a map that joins places with the same groundwater pressure.
