nonsymmetrical

/nˌɑnsɪmˈɛtɹɪkəl/ adj

Not symmetrical.

Word Origin 'Symmetry' comes from Greek 'symmetria', from 'sun-' (together) and 'metron' (measure) — literally 'measured together'. 'Symmetrical' is the adjective. Add 'non-' and you get 'nonsymmetrical' — not measured together, lacking balance. The same roots give us 'asymmetry', 'diameter' (measure across), 'geometry' (earth measure), and 'meter' itself.
