Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

(Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.ogg (help·info) (also spelled -koniosis) is, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, “a factitious word alleged to mean ‘a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica dust usually found in volcanoes’.” It was coined to serve as supposedly the longest English word. The more general and widely used term for this condition is pneumoconiosis, also known as black lung disease.

According to http://www.askoxford.com/asktheexperts/faq/aboutwords/longestword,

these are the some of the “longest words” in the English dictionary. Many words deemed as “the longest words” are made up. Antidisestablishmentarianism, and floccinaucinihilipilification are two words that were deliberatly ‘elongated’ in order to make them the “longest words” by adding contradictory prefixes and suffixes.

The following are other “longest words” (most of which are technical terms).

otorhinolaryngological (22 letters),

immunoelectrophoretically (25 letters),

psychophysicotherapeutics (25 letters),

thyroparathyroidectomized (25 letters),

pneumoencephalographically (26 letters),

radioimmunoelectrophoresis (26 letters),

psychoneuroendocrinological (27 letters)

hepaticocholangiogastrostomy (28 letters),

spectrophotofluorometrically (28 letters),

pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism (30 letters).

Hope this answers your question!!!!
