Actually, the name of something does not always illustrate its function. For example, the word "pun" is not an example of a pun-- it's just the dictionary word for it. The word "palindrome" comes from the Greek language, and its meaning derives from the Greek words for "to run," and "back again." Some people have, perhaps jokingly, suggested that we should call it an "emordnilap," but there is no such word in English.
