Root Explanation

Symmetrize → It is formed from "sym-" (from Greek "symmetricos", meaning together or with) and "metron" (meaning measure). The word "symmetrize" means to make something have a balanced or proportional measure, creating harmony in its form.

Memory Tip

Think of things being 'together' ('sym-') in a balanced 'measure' ('metron') — that's why symmetrize means to create balance.
