I was just looking at the words when it hit me! There is a repeating pattern in each one once you dump the first letter!

banana anana
dresser resser
grammar rammar
potato otato
revive evive
uneven neven
assess ssess

I was trying to think it through, but just looking without really thinking did it.

If you take the beginning letter and put it at the end of the word...you get the same word spelled backwards. ;) They are called palindromes.
