Etymology
Isotropic comes from Greek parts iso- meaning 'equal' and -tropic meaning 'direction' or 'turn'. You can see the iso- part in familiar science words like isotope. So an isotropic material has 'equal' properties in every direction, which is why it behaves the same no matter which way you look at it.
