1. lacking symmetry; not symmetrical; asymmetrical
Usage: formal or technical usage; often used in chemistry, biology, and mathematics
2. having parts that are mirror images but not identical in all respects; characterized by dissymmetry
Usage: chemistry: describing molecules or crystals that lack a plane of symmetry

Examples

• The dissymmetric shape of the molecule made it optically active.
• The building's dissymmetric design gave it a modern, unconventional appearance.
• In chemistry, dissymmetric compounds often exhibit different biological properties.
• The artist deliberately created a dissymmetric composition to draw the viewer's eye.
• Dissymmetric crystals can rotate polarized light in specific directions.
• The dissymmetric arrangement of the garden's pathways created an interesting visual effect.
