You can use this. I hope it will work for you.

function unique(array) {
    return $.grep(array, function (el, index) {
        return index == $.inArray(el, array);
    });
}
var words = ['Category One Category One Clothes', 'Category One Category One Jackets'];
var result = [];
for (i = 0; i < words.length; i++) {
    arr = unique(words[i].split(' '));
    result[i] = arr.join(' ');
}

For the given input, this should work.

words.map(w => w.replace(/([\w\s]+)\1+/, '$1'))


var words = ['Category One Category One Clothes', 'Category One Category One Jackets'];
var result = words.map(w => w.replace(/([\w\s]+)\1+/, '$1'));
console.log(result);

The regex ([\w\s]+) will match the words/spaces and \1+ will match the same word again.
