Term: Center of symmetry

Center of symmetry

Symmetry involving a repetition of identical features about a point at the center of the object. Thus, any point in the object will have a corresponding point (to produce an inversion) repeated an equal distance from the object’s center along a line established by the original point and the center point of the object. Also known as an “inversion center”.
