    Do you mean symmetry?  (and I may be spelling that wrong, too).  If something is symmetrical, it is balanced and in proportion with itself.


    For example, a square is proportioned.......it is the same on all four sides and all the corners are 90 degrees.


    Is this what you are asking?

    it means nice and round,. . . . .not jagged,  not sticking out anywhere

    That is exactly what I meant (Symmetry).  So strange that I got the answer from my daughter and son in law just tonight. The reason I asked is because I have a book called HER FEARFUL SYMMETRY by AUDREY NIFFENEGGER. In the book they are twin girls. After hearing the meaning of the word I see that it has everything to do with the girls...Going to be a good read...thank you for you answer :)
