misshapenness
Lack of symmetry
Misshapenness is the quality of being badly shaped or deformed—having a form that deviates unpleasantly from what's expected or normal.
The word applies to physical objects, bodies, or abstract things: the misshapenness of the tumor, the misshapenness of his argument.
It's relatively rare, with "misshapen" doing most of the work as an adjective.
