Anacyclic
Definition
Reading or capable of being read in both directions (from left to right and from right to left), maintaining a coherent meaning, but generating a completely different word, phrase, or text than the original reading. In a deep structural sense, it differs from a palindrome because the reversed order of letters creates a new meaning, being used as a stylistic, poetic device or in cryptography.
