The practice, study, or theory of creating and using anagrams; a system or philosophy centered on anagrammatic wordplay.
Formed from 'anagrammatic' plus the suffix '-ism,' which creates abstract nouns referring to practices, beliefs, or systems. The '-ism' suffix comes from Greek and Latin and is used to name ideologies, practices, and academic fields.
Some medieval scholars were so convinced that anagrams revealed divine secrets that they developed entire systems of anagrammatism—treating letter rearrangement as a legitimate way to find hidden truths in scripture and nature.
