Formed by adding the regular nominalizing suffix '-ness' to the adjective 'symmetrical', yielding the state or quality of being symmetrical.

Etymology

Symmetricalness comes from Greek parts sym- and -metry, which mean 'together' and 'measure'. Think of two sides 'measured together' so they match, just like in the familiar word symmetry, and that's why symmetricalness means the quality of having matching parts on opposite sides.
