A symmetry is a change in perspective that renders a system unchanged.

Examples

[TODO picture] Imagine a square S with different sides (labels on each of its sides). You can rotate it, and you get a different square S'. But if you forget about the labels (omit the measurements of the labels), then S and S' are the same. This thing has a natural Z4 symmetry.
