Lopsided

Lopsided

Adjective · /ˌlɒpˈsaɪ.dɪd/

Definition

With one side lower, heavier, or larger than the other; not balanced or symmetrical; unfairly weighted in favour of one side.

Origin

From lop (in the sense of drooping, hanging, uneven) + sided (having a specified side or number of sides, from side, from Old English sīde). The compound lopsided is attested from the 18th century. The lop element here is the sense of drooping or hanging unevenly, not the cutting sense.
