The longest word from Oxford Dictionary
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis; (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.
This 1185-letter “word” is the chemical name for “Coat Protein, Tobacco Mosaic Virus, Dahlemense Strain”. It is supposedly the longest word in the English language.
The term was published in the American Chemical Society’s Chemical Abstracts in 1972, and is considered by some to be the longest real word. It does hold the record for the longest word in an English language publication in a serious context, that is, for some reason other than to publish a very long word.
In its complete form, the 1185-letter word is as shown:
