Abstract
In French science literature, the term dissymmetry appeared as early as in 1820, before Louis Pasteur. Pasteur, a French scientist, in his lecture ‘Recherches sur la Dissymetrie Moleculaire des Produits Organiques Naturels’ in 1860 used the term dissymmetric which was translated in English as asymmetric. A methodical study of his work reveals that the choice of the word dissymmetry is ideal even in the context of present-day science. Strictly speaking, there should be no conflict between the two terms dissymmetry and asymmetry.
