Morphology

isothere = isotherm (opaque) = iso + there

Isothere is closely related to and effectively a variant/form of 'isotherm', so the relation to that base is directly recoverable by someone who knows the technical term.

Etymology

The word isothere comes from the Greek part iso- meaning 'equal' and the same root as thermometer for 'heat', so an isothere is a line that joins places with the same summer temperature.
