Wow, this is a very long word!!! I just wonder if there is word longer than this!

That's very loooong, indeed! :lol:

All the while I thought SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS (the song with the same title in the musical film Mary Poppins) was long enough! :ouch:

Roots of the word have been defined as follows: super- "above," cali- "beauty," fragilistic- "delicate," expeali- "to atone," and docious- "educable," with the sum of these parts signifying roughly "Atoning for educatability through delicate beauty." This explication of its connotations suits the fictional nature of Mary Poppins, in that she presents herself as both superlatively beautiful and also supremely intelligent and capable of great achievements.

I thought, this is the longest too but when I research I found out that it's pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (45 letters) - The longest word currently listed in Oxford dictionaries is rather of this kind: it is the supposed lung-disease.

The first is based on Greek words, and the second on the Latin equivalents; they are osteosarchaematosplanchnochondroneuromuelous (44 letters) and osseocarnisanguineoviscericartilaginonervomedullar y (51 letters), which translate roughly as 'of bone, flesh, blood, organs, gristle, nerve, and marrow'.

Some editions of the Guinness Book of Records mention praetertranssubstantiationalistically (37 letters), used in Mark McShane's Untimely Ripped (1963), and aequeosalinocalcalinoceraceoaluminosocupreovitriol ic (52 letters), attributed to Dr Edward Strother (1675-1737).

ectomy - Gk ektemnen (to cut out); surgical procedure

Try reading this about longest words.. There is 183 letter-word there..

It is

Lopadotemachoselachogaleokranioleipsanodrimhypotri mmatosilphioparaomelitokatakechymenokichlepikossyp hophattoperisteralektryonoptekephalliokinklopeleio lagoiosiraiobaphetraganopterygon

Liddell and Scott translate this as "name of a dish compounded of all kinds of dainties, fish, flesh, fowl, and sauces."

The original Greek spelling had 171 characters (something which is not obvious in the Roman transcription, depending on the variant) and for centuries it was the longest word known.

The dish was a fricassee, with 17 sweet and sour ingredients, including brains, honey, vinegar, fish, pickles, and the following:

Fish slices
Fish of the Elasmobranchii subclass (a shark or ray)
Rotted dogfish or small shark's head
generally sharp-tasting dish of several ingredients grated and pounded together
Silphion "laserwort," apparently a kind of giant fennel
A kind of crab, beetle, or crayfish
Eagle
Cheese
Honey poured down
Wrasse (or thrush)
On top of a kind of sea fish or Blackbird
Wood pigeon
Domestic pigeon
Chicken
Roasted head of dabchick
Hare, which could be a kind of bird or a kind of sea-hare
New wine boiled down
Dessert fruit or thing eaten raw
Wing, fin
