Anagram \An"a*gram\, n. [F. anagramme, LL. anagramma, fr. Gr. ?
back, again + ? to write. See {Graphic}.]
Literally, the letters of a word read backwards, but in its
usual wider sense, the change or one word or phrase into
another by the transposition of its letters. Thus Galenus
becomes angelus; William Noy (attorney-general to Charles I.,
and a laborious man) may be turned into I moyl in law.
