...to make a 5-letter word.
An example of what I mean: the word 'exorcise' is an 8-letter word that can have any of 2 letters added to the end of it to make a 9-letter word: 'exorcised' or 'exorcises.'

First best/correct answer gets 10 points and a thumbs-up. And even if your word is different from mine, you'll get the points. But I'm curious to see if there are any 'wordsmiths' out there. Good luck and good hunting!
