What Are Palindrome Words?
The word palindrome comes from the Greek word palindromes, which means “running back again.” The word further breaks down into “palin,” which means back, again, and dramein, which means running. This origin makes sense since these words read the same backward and forward. Regardless of where the word came from, if you find a word that has the same spelling from front to back and vice versa.
