Equiformity

/ˌɛkwɪˈfɔːrmɪtɪ/ noun

Definition

The state or quality of having equal or identical form and structure.

Etymology

From 'equiform' with the suffix '-ity' (used to form nouns indicating state or condition). It parallels words like 'uniformity' but specifies equal rather than consistent form.

Kelly Says

Like many 'equi-' words, this noun was theoretically possible but scientists preferred 'homology' or 'isomorphism' because those terms came with precise mathematical definitions already built in.
