Child word inventors
Most of us know that a palindrome is a word that reads the same spelled forward and backward, like
racecar or madam. But what would you call a word that spells a different word backwards?
When six-year-old Canadian boy Levi Budd saw the word stop on a sign, he realised that he could create
the word pots if he read it backwards. Before long, he was imagining words backwards and coming up
with rats from star and pets from step. One day in January 2017, the inquisitive word lover and his
mother were driving along in the car. Suddenly he turned to her and asked, ‘What do we call a word that
spells another word backwards?’
His mum and dad did some research and discovered that there’s no word that defines such words, so Levi
decided he should invent one: levidrome!
Mr Budd said his son started reading at the age of three and, by the time he was four, he knew what a
palindrome was. Budd, a historian and author of nine books, has proposed levidrome, pronounced
lev-ih-drome, to the dictionary publisher Merriam-Webster.
Merriam-Webster explained to Budd that a word must be in common use before it’s accepted, though
levidrome has already been added to the online Urban Dictionary.
Children must have a special talent for inventing word because Levi is not the only child to have invented
a new word. In 2016, an eight-year-old Italian boy called Matteo invented the word petaloso meaning
‘full of petals’. His teacher was both surprised and impressed, and wrote a Facebook post about it, which
has since been shared more than 80,000 times. On Twitter, #petaloso was used almost 40,000 times.
According to the BBC, the word quickly became the top trending topic in Italy and briefly hit the list of
top worldwide trends. Many tweeters used the word in context, demonstrating its wide use and commonly
understood meaning.
