The word ‘anagram’ is itself an anagram.

ohyeahfacts:

In the ancient Roman world, the art of anagramming was so highly revered by people of power that it was given the name “ars magna,” meaning great art. By rearranging this, you get ‘anagrams’.

Instant reblog on anything that has to do with anagrams… obviously. (though it’s apparently debunked) :)

The funniest thing about my name, other than it being an anagram, is that there are only a few close family members who pronounce it correctly. I gave up in first or second grade when I had to keep on repeating the correct pronunciation to no avail. The “z” sounding like an “s” and the “d” sounding like the “th” in “than” rather than the “th” in “thanks” and the accent over the final “i” was just too much for most English-only speaking Americans to handle… and according to some, way too complex for a simple four letter name. I ultimately threw my little second-grade hands up in the air (after a few solid cries) and gave in to “zahdee.” And that is the (partial) story of my name.
