equiponderant \ˌe-kwə-ˈpän-d(ə-)rənt\
adjective: evenly balanced
Etymology: Medieval Latin
aequiponderare, from Latin
aequi- equal +
ponderare to weigh
It is efficient to possess a word that can otherwise only be expressed as a ponderous phrase, but
equiponderant is just as syllabically concise as its definition.
