For example, pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is not a legit medical word. You won't find it in any medical dictionary. The words for what it means are pneumoconiosis (pneumonitis caused by fine particles/dust) and silicosis (pneumonitis caused by silicon particles). I've seen those 2 combined into pneumosilicosis and *maybe* even pneumosilicoconiosis, but DEFINITELY not the 45 letter version. This is a good website but you could also add Antidisestablishmentarianism which has twenty-eight letters and is originally described opposition to the disestablishment of the Church of England, but now it may refer to any opposition to @feminoofdipsMarch 9, 2020 YOU LEFT OUT HIPPOPOTOMONSTROSESQUIPPEDALIOPHOBIA hippopotomostreusquippdeloilaphobia, like some of the other words on this list, were really just made up for the purpose of creating really long words.
