From Mensa Puzzle Calendar, 2016, by Mark Danna and Fraser Simpson, Workman Publishing, New York, puzzle for February 2.
Cell (1,1) of the four grids together form:
vendet--=> vendetta
Cell (1,2) of the four grids together form:
tranqu-- => tranquil
Cell (2,1) of the four grids together form:
rutaba--= rutabaga
Cell (2,2) of the four grids together form:
neophy-- => neophyte
The missing 2-string letters are:
ta, il, ga, te
Accordingly, the required 4th grid is:
+---+----+
| ta | il |
+----+----+
|ga | te |
+----+----+
Consequently, the required 8-letter word is tailgate
