I just read on the Grammar Girl website about a new word form called the “levidrome”, a word that makes sense in both directions, such as “stressed” and “desserts”, or “pots” and “stop”. The “levi” in “levidrome” can be taken as referring to “left” (as in reading right to left) or as a nod to the term’s creator, young Levi Budd.
