I've actually studied what would be called ergodic systems, although that term wasn't use very often.

Indeed, from erg- "work" + hod- "path", and adapted from the German Ergoden coined in a somewhat different sense by Boltzmann (1884).

Probably from Greek ergos work, and thus related to ergatic.

It's almost disturbing that there are people in the world who require a word for 'positive recurrent aperiodic state of stochastic systems'.
