" ANAGRAMMATISM  (ANAGRA'MMATISM)   n.s.[from anagram.]The act or practice of making anagrams. The only quintessence that hitherto the alchymy of wit could draw out of names, is anagrammatism, or metagrammamatism, which is a dissolution of a name truly written into his letters, as his elements, and a new connexion of it by artificial transposition, without addition, substraction, or change of any letter into different words, making some perfect sense appliable to the person named.Camden.
