Definition
A reversal or distortion of anatomical structure, or in rhetoric, the practice of using anastrophe (inverted word order).
Etymology
Greek ana- (back) and strophe (turning), variant of anastrophe. Used in medical and rhetorical contexts to describe reversal or inversion.
Kelly Says
This word bridges anatomy and language—while anastrophe flips words, anastrophia originally meant a literal turning backward of body structures, showing how one root inspired meanings in two completely different fields.
