The words "carioca" and "orator" exhibit a similar pattern: both words consist of two identical groups of letters and another group of letters between them.
Let’s look for more English words of similar structure (MNM - each group should consist of 2 or more letters).
Plurals and proper names not allowed.

What is the longest word fitting my description ?

lymphogranulomatosis is a medical condition characterized by swollen lymph nodes.  Add a couple of suffixes to get the 27 letter
lymphogranulomatosistically. 

His nodes were swelling in a lymphogranulomatosistically suggestive manner.
