Yesterday’s word

The word ambigram is “a word or phrase written in a manner that is reads the same (in some cases, a different word or phrase) when oriented in a different way (such as reflected or rotated).

First usage

Our word came into English in the 1980s

Background / Comments

You may be able to split our word apart into its components (but I don’t know how much that would help). It is made up of the Latin words ambi- (both) and -gram (something written). You can find images of ambigrams on the Internet.
