isogonal
|is-o-gon-al|
/ˈaɪsəɡənəl/
equal-angled
Etymology
'isogonal' originates from Greek, specifically the elements 'isos' and 'gonia', where 'isos' meant 'equal' and 'gonia' meant 'angle'.
'isogonal' was formed in modern scientific English by combining the Greek-derived prefix 'iso-' and the suffix '-gonal' (from 'gonia'), entering mathematical usage in the 19th century.
Initially, it meant 'equal-angled', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
