Wolfie that's a withagram!
In the early 1970s, a long term bet (as yet never won by anyone) at Uni to see if anyone could get a word into the Oxford Dictionary resulted in me writing a spoof academic article in a NATO magazine about withagrams (We were informed that any candidate word had to be in print somewhere). A withagram is defined as two words, mutual anagrams, which have a sensible meaning when put together - e.g. Ocean Canoe, English Shingle, Ratchet Chatter etc. The article even 'investigated' 'Multiwithgrams (three or more mutual anagram words with a sensible meaning e.g. Large Regal Lager, or for quiet times on ths board - a Thread Dearth Hatred). And Pseudowithagrams (Failed withagrams) where one of the words breaks down into smaller words - e.g. The Classroom Schoolmaster, Combinatorial Robotic Animal, To aim point is Optimisation), and finally multipseudowithagrams - 'I'm that anaemic Thematimaniac Mathematician' since I am crazy for structure or themes everywhere.
BobG would know all about this!

very very close, you are just missing the 'im' and the 'at'

Carnoustie cautioners a bit contrived
Proud of Tramline terminal I must say
