Etymology
'asymmetrical-fingered' originates from the combination of 'asymmetrical' and 'fingered', where 'asymmetrical' means 'not symmetrical' and 'fingered' refers to having fingers.
'asymmetrical' comes from the Greek word 'asymmetros', meaning 'without symmetry', and 'fingered' is derived from the Old English 'finger', meaning 'digit'.
Initially, it meant 'having fingers that are not symmetrical', and this meaning has remained consistent in modern usage.
