not equal in force
Etymology
'non-isodynamic' originates from English, specifically the prefix 'non-' plus the adjective 'isodynamic', where 'non-' meant 'not' and 'isodynamic' comes from Greek elements meaning 'equal' and 'force/power'.
'isodynamic' ultimately derives from Greek 'isodynamikos' (from 'isos' meaning 'equal' + 'dunamis' meaning 'power'), entered scientific English via New Latin/Modern formation; the English negative prefix 'non-' was added to form 'non-isodynamic'.
Initially, the root concept referred to 'equal power' (isodynamic); adding 'non-' produced the straightforward negative sense 'not equal in power/force', a meaning that has persisted in technical use.
