What is the longest English word?
We do have genuine (if rather obviously deliberate) examples in our files of antidisestablishmentarianism (28 letters) and floccinaucinihilipilification (29 letters), which are listed in some of our larger dictionaries. Other words (mainly technical ones) recorded in the complete Oxford English Dictionary include:
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).
Most of the words which are given as 'the longest word' are merely inventions, and when they occur it is almost always as examples of long words, rather than as genuine examples of use. For example, the medieval Latin word honorificabilitudinitas (honourableness) was listed by some old dictionaries in the English form honorificabilitudinity (22 letters), but it has never really been in use. The longest word currently listed in Oxford dictionaries is rather of this kind: it is the supposed lung-disease pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (45 letters).

oOK, here goes the meanings
oto-rhino-laryngological - in relation to ear (oto), nose (rhino) and throat (larynx)
immuno-electrophoretically - in releation to immunology and electrophoresis
psycho-physicotherapeutics - combined psychological (study of mind) and physiological (study of body dynamics) drug usage
thyro-parathyroidectomized - Both thyrois and parathydoid glands hae been removed by surgery
pneumo-encephalographically - in relation to images taken by introducing air in to the dural space of the skull
radio-immuno-electrophoresis - electrophoresis done using radioactive and immunological methods
psycho-neuro-endocrinological - in relation to psychology (study of mind), nevous system and endocrine glands
hepatico-cholangio-gastrostomy - form of surgery where the bile ducts (cholangio) inside the liver (hepatico) are joined to stomach (gastro)
spectro-photo-fluoro-metrically - This one is out of my subject
pseudo-pseudo-hypoparathyroidism - disease where the parathyroids glands are defective, causing lot of calcium to be excreted in urine, forming urinary stones. but unlike in pseudo-hypoparathyroidism blood levels of calcium is normal:shocked: .
pneumono-ultra-microscopic-silico-volcano-coniosis - deposition of silicon particles emitted by volcano dust in the lung which are too small to be seen by a microscpe. This is a form of acute silicosis.
