Final answer:

Five words that include the Greek or Latin root/affix 'iso-' meaning 'equal' or 'the same' are isometric, isotope, isobar, isosceles, and isomorph. These words incorporate the concept of equality or similarity within their meaning and are derived from combining 'iso-' with a relevant stem.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question asks us to list five words containing the Greek or Latin root/affix iso-, which means 'equal' or 'the same'. Here are five such words along with their meanings:

  • Isometric - having equal measurements or dimensions.
  • Isotope - forms of an element with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, hence demonstrating equality in one aspect (protons) but variation in another (neutrons).
  • Isobar - a line on a map connecting points of equal atmospheric pressure.
  • Isosceles - (in geometry) referring to a triangle with two sides of equal length.
  • Isomorph - an object or specimen that is of equal or similar form to another.

To analyze the composition of these words, we break them down into the prefix 'iso-' and the stem to which it is attached, exemplifying the concept of equality or sameness.
