lopsidedness

Lack of symmetry

Lopsidedness is the quality of being uneven or asymmetrical—heavier, larger, or more developed on one side than the other.

The term applies to physical objects the lopsidedness of his gait and to abstract imbalances: the lopsidedness of the vote, the lopsidedness of their relationship.

It suggests something noticeably off-kilter rather than merely imperfect.
