Definition
对称性 is a noun meaning 'symmetry' — a property of objects, systems, or patterns that are balanced, mirrored, or invariant under certain transformations. It's used in mathematics, physics, art, and everyday descriptions of balance (e.g., 对称性 in a building's design or a face's features). Unlike the adjective 对称 ('symmetrical'), 对称性 emphasizes the abstract concept or quality of being symmetrical.
