Tartrated means containing tartar. Tartar is a white crystalline salt KHC4H4O6 found in grapes. So "detartrated" means having the tartar removed, usually in reference to grapes or wine.

There is another meaning, however, suggested by a 1968 paper in Google Scholar entitled "The technique of detartration and curettage in the prevention and treatment of periodontal diseases." Yes, removal of tartar from teeth is detartration. Therefore, every time the dentist cleans our teeth, we have been detartrated!

Definition of words that are spelled the same forward and backward?

A palindrome: The word palindrome is from the Greek palíndromos, meaning running back again (palín = AGAIN + drom-, drameîn = RUN). A palindrome is a word or phrase which reads the same in both directions. Some simple examples are: RACECAR DEED LEVEL PIP ROTOR CIVIC POP MADAM EYE NUN RADAR TOOT HANNAH (STANLEY YELNATS) BOOB TIT The longest single English word in common usage which is a palindrome is REDIVIDER, although the contrived chemical term DETARTRATED is two letters longer. A heteronym that is spelt the same as another word both forward and backwards
