What's the only common word in English that is spelled with three pairs of the same letter, each pair different, but all in a row?

It's an easy word most people know.

Thanks. I had to think about it and read the question several times. I finally realized that you didn't say that they were the only letters in the word.

If it had been a math question I wouldn't have even tried.

Well, I'd love to accept credit for my answer, but the word was already in my head. My mum's a bookkeeper and we'd just finished talking about her day. How's that for coincidence?

Mississippi would have to be spelled Mississiippi (ssiipp) to meet the criteria. footloose would have to be spelled foottlloose (oottll). This question has appeared many times on many types of tests - including IQ tests and brain-teasers.
