One of the words in this list does not belong. If fact, it's the opposite of all the other words. Which one is it?

 

BETA               KIPPERS

CRAPS             LEAF

EARTH             LUMP

EMOTED         MANATEE

GELATIN         RATING  

HORNS            WINDLESS 

(BIG) HINT:

The puzzle title is  HEELS OVER HEAD.

Answer:

 

The odd word out is GELATIN.

All of the other words can be turned into new words by moving the last letter to the front (BETA becomes ABET, etc.), whereas GELATIN becomes ELATING when its first letter is moved to the end.
