Logonym

Definition: A word whose structure symbolises its own meaning:

Examples:
  • "committee" has unnecessary letters everywhere tacked on wherever they'll go
  • "awkward" has that weird-looking "wkw" in the middle
  • "bookkeeper" - all the letters are organised into groups
  • "embarrassed" has extra letters sticking out
