What exactly do you mean by "asymptomatic"? The proper meaning of the word does not fit into what you wrote.

"Asymptomatic" means you have a cold but you show none of the symptoms, hence a-symptom-atic, no symptoms.

parent is meaning asymptote as in maths where a line is approaching to a value but never touching it. maybe it was a typo or auto correct...
