El Ceed.

The other day, I followed a link to a site called Archimedes Laboratory. Up in the corner, I saw something resembling the following:
There are the only three words in the English language that end in -ceed: exceed, proceed, succeed.
So, like any good puzzler I tried to think of a fourth. And I did. MW lists a total of five words matching the pattern "*ceed", the three above, the one I thought of, and one other.

I should be getting my Amazon DVDs today. They're listed as out for delivery. I hope they don't get rained on. Speaking of, the rain has stopped, but will probably begin again tonight, though not as hard.

I stuffed myself with food, and now I am suddenly tired. Mmmm... Bed. That sounds warm.

Hmm. We seem to be in a mob guess mentality. I thought emceed too.

Me too too. A hint to the fifth M-W word, white-on-white: it doesn't rhyme with the other four.

I had the right idea with affianceed, but I knew that wasn't how the word was spelled.
