• palindrome (PAL-uhn-drohm), n.: a word or phrase that reads the same backward as forward
  
  A few examples:
  "Madam, I'm Adam." (Adam's first words to Eve?)
  "A man, a plan, a canal--Panama!" (The history of the Panama Canal in brief)
  "Able was I ere I saw Elba." (Napoleon's lament)

• The word palindrome is derived from the Greek palíndromos, meaning running back again (palín = AGAIN + drom–, drameîn = RUN). A palindrome is a word or phrase which reads the same in both directions. Some simple examples are:
  
  RACECAR
  DEED
  LEVEL
  PIP
  ROTOR
  CIVIC
  POP
  MADAM
  EYE
  NUN
  RADAR
  TOOT
  
  Words like LIVE and STRAW (which read EVIL and WARTS backwards) are not themselves palindromes but the "phrases" LIVE EVIL and STRAW WARTS are. A palindrome is not necessarily a single word.
