Pronunciation: 'pa-l&m(p)-"sest, p&-'lim(p)-
Function: noun
Etymology: Latin palimpsestus, from Greek palimpsEstos scraped again,
from palin + psEn to rub, scrape; akin to Sanskrit psAti, babhasti he chews
1 : writing material (as a parchment or tablet) used one or more times
after earlier writing has been erased
2 : something having usually diverse layers or aspects apparent beneath
the surface <Canada...is a palimpsest, an overlay of classes and
generations -- Margaret Atwood>
