Etymology
'isodynamic' originates from Greek elements 'iso-' and 'dynamis', where 'iso-' meant 'equal' and 'dynamis' meant 'power' or 'force'.
'isodynamic' formed from Late Greek/Modern New Latin combinations such as 'isodynamikos' and entered English as the adjective 'isodynamic' with technical uses in science and mathematics.
Initially it meant 'equal in power' and has largely retained the technical sense of 'having equal dynamical effect', with specialized senses emerging in geometry and physics.
