Morphology
nonsymmetrical = symmetrical (transparent) = non + symmetry + ical
The prefix 'non-' straightforwardly negates the adjective 'symmetrical', yielding 'not symmetrical', which is directly inferable.
Etymology
Nonsymmetrical breaks into non- meaning 'not' and symmetrical, from symmetry, meaning 'balanced' or 'the same on both sides', so you can think of it as 'not balanced'.
