Enantiomorph

/ɪˈnæntiːəˌmɔrf/ noun

Definition

An object or structure that is a non-superimposable mirror image of another, exhibiting opposite or reversed orientation.

Etymology

From Greek 'enantios' (opposite) + 'morphe' (form or shape). This term is used more broadly than 'enantiomer' to describe any physical objects or structures that are mirror images, not just molecules.

Kelly Says

A left-handed spiral shell and a right-handed spiral shell are enantiomorphs—they're the same shape but mirror images. Many seashells show this beautiful symmetry pattern in nature, and it's related to how their bodies coil as they grow.
