Compare with Definitions
Asymmetry
Asymmetry is the absence of, or a violation of, symmetry (the property of an object being invariant to a transformation, such as reflection). Symmetry is an important property of both physical and abstract systems and it may be displayed in precise terms or in more aesthetic terms.
Unsymmetry
Lack of symmetry.
Asymmetry
Having no balance or symmetry
An asymmetric design.
Asymmetry
Uneven in distribution.
Asymmetry
Existing or occurring between two incommensurate entities, especially to the detriment of one.

Asymmetry
Characterized by an imbalance in power between two opponents in an armed conflict, especially one in which a weaker force uses unconventional means, such as guerilla or terrorist tactics
Asymmetric warfare.
Asymmetry
(Chemistry) Of or relating to a carbon atom having four different atoms or structural groups attached to it, resulting in an unbalanced spatial arrangement of atoms in a molecule, so that the molecule cannot be superimposed on its mirror image; chiral.
Asymmetry
Absence of symmetry or proportion between the parts of a thing, or a distinction that produces such a lack of symmetry.
Asymmetry
The lack of a common measure between two objects or quantities; incommensurability.
Asymmetry
Want of symmetry, or proportion between the parts of a thing, esp. lack of bilateral symmetry.
Asymmetry
Incommensurability.
Asymmetry
(mathematics) a lack of symmetry
