Longest Words

(45) PNEUMONO颅ULTRA颅MICRO颅SCOPIC颅SILICO颅VOLCA鈥β?(also spelled PNEUMONO颅ULTRA颅MICRO颅SCOPIC颅SILICO颅VOLCA鈥β?= a lung disease caused by breathing in particles of siliceous volcanic dust.

This is the longest word in any English dictionary. However, it was coined by Everett Smith, the President of The National Puzzlers' League, in 1935 purely for the purpose of inventing a new "longest word". The Oxford English Dictionary described the word as factitious. Nevertheless it also appears in the Webster's, Random House, and Chambers dictionaries.

(37) HEPATICO颅CHOLANGIO颅CHOLECYST颅ENTERO颅STOM鈥β?= a surgical creation of a connection between the gall bladder and a hepatic duct and between the intestine and the gall bladder.

This is the longest word in Gould's Medical Dictionary.



(34) SUPER颅CALI颅FRAGI颅LISTIC颅EXPI颅ALI颅DOCIOUS = song title from the Walt Disney movie Mary Poppins.

It is in the Oxford English Dictionary.





"But then one day I learned a word

That saved me achin' nose,

The biggest word you ever 'eard,

And this is 'ow it goes:

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!"

(30) HIPPOPOTO颅MONSTRO颅SESQUIPED颅AL颅IAN = pertaining to a very long word.

From Mrs. Byrne's Dictionary of Unusual, Obscure and Preposterous Words.



(29) FLOCCI颅NAUCINI颅HILIPIL颅IFICATION = an estimation of something as worthless.

This is the longest word in the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary. Interestingly the most common letter in English, E, does not appear in this word at all, whilst I occurs a total of nine times. The word dates back to 1741. The 1992 Guinness Book of World Records calls flocci颅nauci颅nihili颅pilification the longest real word in the Oxford English Dictionary, and refers to pneumono颅ultra颅micro颅scopic颅silico颅volca鈥β?as the longest made-up one.



(28) ANTI颅DIS颅ESTABLISH颅MENT颅ARIAN颅ISM = the belief which opposes removing the tie between church and state.

Probably the most popular of the "longest words" in recent decades.



(27) HONORI颅FICABILI颅TUDINI颅TATIBUS = honorableness.

The word first appeared in English in 1599, and in 1721 was listed by Bailey's Dictionary as the longest word in English. It was used by Shakespeare in Love's Labor's Lost (Costard; Act V, Scene I):





"O, they have lived long on the alms-basket of words.

I marvel thy master hath not eaten thee for a word;

for thou art not so long by the head as

honorificabilitudinitatibus: thou art easier

swallowed than a flap-dragon."

Shakespeare does not use any other words over 17 letters in length.



(27) ELECTRO颅ENCEPHALO颅GRAPHICALLY

The longest unhyphenated word in Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary (10th Ed.), joint with ethylene颅diamine颅tetraacetate (see below).



(27) ANTI颅TRANSUB颅STAN颅TIA颅TION颅ALIST = one who doubts that consecrated bread and wine actually change into the body and blood of Christ.



(21) DIS颅PRO颅PORTION颅ABLE颅NESS and (21) IN颅COM颅PREHEN颅SIB颅ILITIES

These are described by the 1992 Guinness Book of World Records as the longest words in common usage.



Some say SMILES is the longest word because there is a MILE between the first and last letters!

There's a little debate about that. Antidisestablishmentarianism at 28 letters is the longest word with colloquial, common usage but there is a technical word with 128 characters.
y?
"Word" has four letters and thats it.
antidisestablishmentarianism - or it always used to be!
you need to be more specific, if you are willing to accept technical\medical words then these are often many technical words concatenated to form a huge compound word, if you mean a "real" word, ie not the result of compounding many terms then you will get a different answer, probably "antidisestablishmentarianism". OK there's an "anti" suffixed, but I'd say that's fair game as a "real" word, allbeit one probably only ever used simply because it is a long word.
