1. A one-to-one mapping of one metric space into another metric space that preserves the distances between each pair of points
   "the isometries of the cube"
    
2. Equality of measure (e.g., equality of height above sea level or equality of loudness etc.)
   "The isometry between the two sound waves was crucial for the experiment"
    
3. Equality of elevation above sea level
   "The isometry of the two coastal cities made them equally vulnerable to rising sea levels"
    
4. (growth) the growth rates in different parts of a growing organism are the same
   "Isometry in plant growth resulted in proportional development of all parts"
