In mathematics, concatenation is the joining of two numbers by their numerals. That is, the concatenation of  123  and  456  is  123456.
Concatenation of numbers  A  and  B  is denoted  A || B.
And concatenation of numbers  A,  B,  and  C is  A || B || C,  and so forth.

 

Here I’m proposing the following game:

The alphabet:      A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Rule:  to find English words that are the concatenation of two words and a string of three letters

The string of three letters is any consonant  +  st :

bst,   cst,   dst,   fst,   gst,   …

For example,

Bandstand   =   Ban || dst || and

Ban  is an English word.

8 Letter words that contain kst
Inkstone   =   In || kst || one
Inkstand   =   In || kst || and

9 Letter words:
Lapstrake   =   La || pst || rake
Lapstreak   =   La || pst || reak

Reak meaning

Solstice   =   So || lst || ice
Cowlstaff   =   Cow || lst || aff
aff meaning

Ramstam   =   Ra || mst || am

 

Find other examples.
