Naming is hard unless you have a sensible concept hierarchy, and then naming is easy.
Concept hierarchies are hard, unless you have a sensible system model, and then concept hierarchies are easy.
System models are hard, unless you have domain expertise, and then system models are easy.

Any word, or part of a word, therefore has one of the four forms: CVCV ... C CVCV ... V VCVC ... C VCVC ... V Looks fine to me.
