Mine is “palimpsest”. I first encountered this word while reading The Secret History by Donna Tartt.

Definition: a manuscript or piece of writing material on which the original writing has been effaced to make room for later writing but of which traces remain.

I love that there’s a word for this.

    I literally thought Palimpsest when I saw the title.
