Equidifferent

/ˌɛkwɪˈdɪfərənt/ adjective

Definition

Having equal differences or intervals between successive elements.

Etymology

From Latin 'aequus' (equal) + 'differentia' (difference). Used to describe arithmetic sequences or evenly spaced items.

Kelly Says

An equidifferent sequence like 2, 5, 8, 11, 14 has the same gap (3) between every pair of neighboring numbers—that's why they're called arithmetic progressions and show up constantly in music scales, fence posts, and calendar dates.
