Palindrome
A palindrome is a word, phrase, number or other sequence of units that has the property of reading the same in either direction (the adjustment of punctuation and spaces between words is generally permitted). The word "palindrome" was coined from Greek roots Greek πάλιν (palin) "back" and δĎóμος (dromos) "way, direction" by English writer Ben Jonson in the 1600s.
