Morphology

A straightforward verb formation: the productive suffix '-ize' is added to the adjective 'symmetric' meaning 'make or become symmetric.'

Etymology

Symmetrize comes from the same root as symmetry, built from Greek parts sym- 'with' and metron 'measure'. So, to symmetrize is to make things 'measured together', which explains why it means to make something balanced and even on both sides.
