From the Pad of Definitions
From 2.07 The Usual Suspects (episode).
Comes from the Greek "ana" meaning "back" or "again" and "graphein" meaning "to write". It is a type of word play, that consists of rearranging the letters of a word or phrase in order to produce other words, using all the original letters exactly once. In a more advanced, sophisticated form of anagramming, ones goal is to 'discover' a result that has a meaning that defines or comments on the original subject in a humorous or ironic way as in Somewhere Over the Rainbow ~ Worrisome However Beneath.
