approximate global symmetry of the Higgs sector that keeps the ratio of W and Z boson masses close to its tree-level value.

In particle physics, custodial symmetry refers to approximate global symmetry of the Higgs sector that keeps the ratio of W and Z boson masses close to its tree-level value. This meaning comes from Sikivie (1980) in Nuclear Physics B.[1]
