Boustrophedonic

Definition:

Boustrophedonic is a term that refers to a pattern of writing, reading, or printing text in alternating directions. The term is derived from the Greek words "bous" meaning "ox" and "strophe" meaning "turn". In boustrophedonic writing, the text is read from left to right and then right to left in the next line, resembling the plowing pattern of oxen.
