I do not know the term for words like this, but an example is ABRA-CAD-ABRA. Are there words like this in the English language? Also, what is the term for this kind of word (if any)?
To clarify based off of the comments and to narrow the search; We have a starting set of characters A, which have at least 3 letters. Then we have a middle set of characters B, which have at least 1 letter. Then the final word consists of A followed by B and then again followed by B.
Taking the list of words at https://github.com/dwyl/english-words there seem to be 271 examples, though I am not sure the original list is reliable and whether all of these would always be counted as words. For example, what does fiftyty-fifty mean and should it be fifty-fifty?
