Roaming Gnome
There is a 7-letter word that has, as one of its definitions, a 6-letter word. Now, switch the positions of the third and sixth letters of the original word, making a new word (an anagram). One of its definitions is now that same 6-letter word, except that it is split into two words (for example, "inward" can be split into "in ward").
What are the two words? What are the definitions?

Good job!!! I didn't understand the title though...
Well, the title has to do with the Travelocity commercials, which have the Roaming Gnome as its spokesman. In one of the commercials, the Roaming Gnome is run over in a hotel. To which he responds "I'm calling for backup. No, don't back up!"
