Palindromemordnilap



Palindromemordnilap: noun. A word that is read the same way from the front to the back as from the back to the front. This word came into existence after an attempt by several linguists to rationalise the English language and to create a correlation between the meanings of different words and the way they sound. Palindromemordnilap was, of course, an elaboration on the word palindrome, which had absolutely nothing lacipalindromemordnilapical about it and it was coined by Lewis Carroll over his morning cup of coffee with pills and sedatives.
