Yes, an intriguing word. It even made me google it.

Apparently it has a deeper meaning:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palimpsest

A palimpsest (/ˈpælɪmpsɛst/) is a manuscript page from a scroll or book 
from which the text has been scraped off and which can be used again. 
The word "palimpsest" comes through Latin palimpsēstus from Ancient 
Greek παλίμψηστος (palímpsestos, “scratched or scraped again”) 
originally compounded from πάλιν (palin, “again”) and ψάω (psao, “I 
scrape”) literally meaning “scraped clean and used again”. Romans wrote 
on wax-coated tablets that could be smoothed and reused, and a passing 
use of the term "palimpsest" by Cicero seems to refer to this practice.
