An anadrome[citation needed] (also emordnilap,[1] semordnilap[2] and levidrome[a]) is a word that has its spelling derived by reversing the spelling of another word. It is therefore a special type of anagram. There is a long history of names being coined as ananyms of existing words or names for entities related to the thing named by this subset of anadromes.
