It's obviously ellipsisessieses.

Inspired by a chat message.

Your challenge

Given a list or space or comma-separated string of words, ellipsisessiesesify them.

To ellipsisessieses-ify a word:

  1. Start with the word.
  2. Add the first letter of the original word to the end.
  3. Add 2 of the last letter of the original word to the end.
  4. Add the second-to-last letter of the original word to the end.
  5. Add the first letter of the original word to the end.
  6. Add the last letter of the original word to the end.
  7. Repeat steps 5 & 6 once.
  8. You're done!

You can assume:

  • The input words will only be alphanumeric
  • Input & output can be a space-separated string or list
  • The input will contain only words
  • The words will be at least 2 letters long
  • The input will match the regex /^[a-z0-9]{2,}( [a-z0-9]{2,})*$/i
  • You can have a different input and output format
  • More to come...

Test cases:

ellipsis -> ellipsisessieses
goat -> goatgttagtgt
covfefe -> covfefeceefcece
programmer5000 -> programmer5000p000p0p0
up vote down goat -> upuppuupup voteveetveve downdnnwdndn goatgttagtgt
it is golf yo -> itittiitit isissiisis golfgfflgfgf yoyooyyoyo
crossed out 44 is still 44 -> crossedcddecdcd outottuotot 4444444444 isissiisis stillslllslsl 4444444444

Saved 1 byte thanks to Jonathan Allan

Works on arrays of strings.

s=>s.map(s=>s+'01120101'.replace(/./g,n=>s.substr(-n,1)))

Test cases

let f =

s=>s.map(s=>s+'01120101'.replace(/./g,n=>s.substr(-n,1)))

console.log(f(['ellipsis']))
console.log(f(['goat']))

Jelly,  13 12  11 bytes

⁽×ʠb3’ịṭµ€K

A full program that takes a list of lists of characters and prints the space separated output.

Try it online!

How?

⁽×ʠb3’ịṭµ€K - Main link: list of lists of characters e.g. ["this","is","it"]
        µ€  - for each word in the input:            e.g. "this"
⁽×ʠ         -   base 250 literal 5416                     5416
   b3       -   converted to base 3                       [2,1,1,0,2,1,2,1]
     ’      -   decrement                                 [1,0,0,-1,1,0,1,0]
      ị     -   index into the word                       "tssitsts"
       ṭ    -   tack to the word                          ["this",["tssitsts"]]
          K - join the results with spaces                ["this",["tssitsts"]," is",["issiisis"]," it",["ittiitit"]]
            - implicit print                              thistssitsts isissiisis itittiitit

Alternatively a list of words to list of words is also possible in 11 bytes:

⁽×ʠb3’ị;@µ€

⁽×ʠb3’ may also be replaced by 4,⁵Bj- for the same byte count
([4,10] in binary is [[1,0,0],[1,0,1,0]] joined by -1 is [1,0,0,-1,1,0,1,0]).

    \$\begingroup\$ @programmer5000 There is an alternative 11 byter that returns a list which I have given below the main answer (note that there is no way to get the main one down to 10 by removing the K because as a monadic link the returned list would not be one level deep, which I imagine is pushing lax I/O too far - that is for an input of ["this", "is", "it"] the return value would be [['t','h','i','s',"tssitsts"],['i','s',"issiisis"],['i','t',"ittiitit"]] (where "..." are lists of characters) and leaving it to print as a full program would smash it all together as thistssitstsisissiisisitittiitit) \$\endgroup\$ Aug 25, 2017 at 2:52

Paradoc (v0.2.10), 13? bytes (CP-1252)

µ96Qó3BÌDX=v+

Try it online!

Takes a list of words, and results in a list of words on the stack.

A small variation on the base-3 trick. Maybe it's time to work on my base 250-whatever compressor.

Explanation:

μ             .. Map the following block over each word (the block is
              .. terminated by }, but that doesn't exist, so until EOF)
              .. (The word is on the stack now.)
 96Qó         .. 96 * 26 (Q in base 26) = 2496, a hack to prevent us from
              .. needing a space to separate this from the following number.
     3B       .. Convert 2496 to base 3 to get [1,0,1,0,2,1,1,0]
       ÌD     .. Negate and reverse to get [0,-1,-1,-2,0,-1,0,-1]
         X    .. Push the loop variable: the word being mapped over
          =v  .. Index, vectorize; map over the indices by indexing them
              .. into the word
            + .. Concatenate with the original word

(Byte-counting question: Now that I'm actually demonstrating this in TIO, it take a list of words on the stack and results in a list of words on the stack, but you can't really do much with that list of words unless you close the block started by µ. Should I count that closing brace?)

Takes the input as a String-array, and modified this original array instead of returning a new one to save bytes.
