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.

What is the term for a word which is another word spelled backwards? There's no generally accepted term. The simplest way of referring to such words (e.g. lap/pal, dog/god) is probably semi-palindrome or half-palindrome. Some other suggestions have been made, including heteropalindrome, reversgram (or reversible anagram), and semordnilap (i.e. palindromes written backwards). See other Vocabulary Questions.
