There is no generally accepted term. The simplest word
for such words is something like semi-palindrome or half-palindrome.
However, some other suggestions have been made, including the elegant heteropalindrome,
the ugly reversgram (or better, reversible anagram), and the outrageous semordnilap!
The sentence 'rats live on no evil star' is full of these semi-palindromes.
