Error Words
We're sure about this one.
A whole dictionary line squashed into one string instead of a word.
It is a headword plus something from its own entry, with the comma and hyphen removed. automatonta is the line automaton, -ta. newsmanmen is newsman, -men.
Sometimes the tail is a definition rather than an ending, so cibophobiafood is cibophobia with its meaning stuck on the back.
We did not start with this category. A reviewer found the pattern in the first batch and it got its own name.
