words that say other words backwards
One common term is semordnilap (the word palindrome spelled backwards). Palindromes, like radar and racecar, spell the same word forward or backward. Semordnilaps are differâ¦ent real words when spelled backwards, such as was/saw, liar/rail, diaper/repaid, and desserts/stressed. Other terms for these words are opisograms, or reverse anagrams.
