The Answer:

And, the answer for the the question is :

A word that becomes another word when reversed

Explanation:

[STC0019535]. The astute reader may have observed that’semordnilap’ is ‘palindromes’ reversed. A palindrome is a word or phrase that works in both directions. For instance, ‘taco cat.’ A semordnilap, on the other hand, is a term that, when reversed, produces another word with a distinct meaning. For instance, the word ‘desserts’ becomes’stressed.’ The name appears to have originated in the early 2000s.
