Pseudo-symmetry :: Pseudo-symmetry (n.) A kind of symmetry characteristic of certain crystals which from twinning, or other causes, come to resemble forms of a system other than that to which they belong, as the apparently hexagonal prisms of aragonite..

Tetartohedral :: Tetartohedral (a.) Having one fourth the number of planes which are requisite to complete symmetry.

Deformity :: Deformity (a.) The state of being deformed; want of proper form or symmetry; any unnatural form or shape; distortion; irregularity of shape or features; ugliness.

Well-set :: Well-set (a.) Well put together; having symmetry of parts.

Hemihedral :: Hemihedral (a.) Having half of the similar parts of a crystals, instead of all; consisting of half the planes which full symmetry would require, as when a cube has planes only on half of its eight solid angles, or one plane out of a pair on each of its edges; or as in the case of a tetrahedron, which is hemihedral to an octahedron, it being contained under four of the planes of an octahedron..

Holohedral :: Holohedral (a.) Having all the planes required by complete symmetry, -- in opposition to hemihedral..

Unsymmetrical :: Unsymmetrical (a.) Wanting in symmetry, or due proportion pf parts..

Mimical :: Mimical (a.) Imitative; characterized by resemblance to other forms; -- applied to crystals which by twinning resemble simple forms of a higher grade of symmetry.

Dissymmetry :: Dissymmetry (n.) Absence or defect of symmetry; asymmetry.

Symmetrical :: Symmetrical (a.) Involving or exhibiting symmetry; proportional in parts; having its parts in due proportion as to dimensions; as, a symmetrical body or building..

Bilateral :: Bilateral (a.) Of or pertaining to the two sides of a central area or organ, or of a central axis; as, bilateral symmetry in animals, where there is a similarity of parts on the right and left sides of the body..

Proportion :: Proportion (v.) To form with symmetry or suitableness, as the parts of the body..

Disproportional :: Disproportional (a.) Not having due proportion to something else; not having proportion or symmetry of parts; unsuitable in form, quantity or value; inadequate; unequal; as, a disproportional limb constitutes deformity in the body; the studies of youth should not be disproportional to their understanding..

Amphineura :: Amphineura (n. pl.) A division of Mollusca remarkable for the bilateral symmetry of the organs and the arrangement of the nerves.

Symmetry :: Symmetry (n.) A due proportion of the several parts of a body to each other; adaptation of the form or dimensions of the several parts of a thing to each other; the union and conformity of the members of a work to the whole.

Accompaniment :: Accompaniment (n.) That which accompanies; something that attends as a circumstance, or which is added to give greater completeness to the principal thing, or by way of ornament, or for the sake of symmetry..

Incongruity :: Incongruity (n.) Disagreement of parts; want of symmetry or of harmony.

Homaxonial :: Homaxonial (a.) Relating to that kind of homology or symmetry, the mathematical conception of organic form, in which all axes are equal. See under Promorphology..

Kite :: Kite (n.) A quadrilateral, one of whose diagonals is an axis of symmetry..

Statuesquely :: Statuesque (a.) Partaking of, or exemplifying, the characteristics of a statue; having the symmetry, or other excellence, of a statue artistically made; as, statuesquelimbs; a statuesque attitude..
