Palindromes redirects here. For the film, see Palindromes (film). A palindrome is a word, phrase, number, or other sequence of characters which reads the same backward or forward, such as madam or kayak.
Origins: In February 2014, the Tumblr blog Wordsmythologic shared a post declaring that emornilap (i.e., palindrome spelled in reverse) is a word referencing any word that, when spelled backwards, produces another word, and therefore the phrase emordnilap palindrome is itself a palindrome.
