Root Explanation

Palindromist → It is formed from "palindrome" (from Greek "palindromos", meaning running back again) and the suffix "-ist" (meaning one who practices or is concerned with). A palindromist is someone who engages in or specializes in palindromes, which are words or phrases that read the same backward as forward.

Think of someone who specializes in words that 'run back again' — that's what a palindromist does, creating phrases that are the same forwards and backwards.
