A. It depends . . .
It might be supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (which appears in the Oxford English Dictionary), unless you want to count names of diseases (such as 'pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis', defined by the OED as "a factitious word alleged to mean 'a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica dust' but occurring chiefly as an instance of a very long word"), places (such as 'Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch', a village in Wales), chemical compounds (apparently there is one that is 1,913 letters long), and also a few words found only in Joyce's Finnegans Wake.
HOWZZAT???

if by this you mean what word contains the most letters in the world, then i would have to say the answer is ENCYCLOPEDIA
as for an actual word that is the longest in the world, then sorry i don't know, unless encyclopedia was the answer. LOL

This word has appeared in the American Chemical Society's Chemical Abstracts and is thus considered by some to be the longest real word.
