??

Each of these words can be split in half, and two letters can be placed in the middle to create a new six-letter word.

The four added pairs of letters, in order, spell an 8-letter word. What is that word?
lend
liar
pale
coin

For example:
door + ct = do + ct + or = doctor
suit + nl = su + nl + it = sunlit
