asymmetrically

/ˌeɪsəˈmɛtɹɪkəɫli/ adv

In an asymmetric manner.

Word Origin Asymmetry is 'not together-measure' — from Greek a- 'not' + symmetria, which is syn- 'together' + metron 'measure'. Symmetry is when things measure together, balanced. Asymmetrically means lacking that balance. The root metron gives us meter, metric, diameter (measure across), and parameter (measure beside). So it's all about measurement.
