Answer 1

longest

Answer 2

(45) Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilico volcanoconiosis (also spelled Pneimonoultramicroscopicsilico volcanokoniosis) = a lung disease caused by breathing in particles of siliceous volcanic dust.

This is the longest word in any English dictionary. However, it was coined by Everett Smith, the President of The National Puzzlers' League, in 1935 purely for the purpose of inventing a new "longest word". The Oxford English Dictionary described the word as factitious. Nevertheless it also appears in the Webster's, Random House, and Chambers dictionaries.


(37) Hepaticocholangiocholecy stenterostomies = a surgical creation of a connection between the gall bladder and a hepatic duct and between the intestine and the gall bladder.

This is the longest word in Gould's Medical Dictionary.


(34) Supercalifragilistice xpialidocious = song title from the Walt Disney movie Mary Poppins.

It is in the Oxford English Dictionary.


There is also the chemical word:

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


And this place name:

(85) TAUMATA­WH AKA­TANG I­HANGA­KO AUAU­O­TA MATEA­TURIPUK AKA­PIKI­MA UNGA­HOR O­NUKU­PO KAI­WHENUA­KI TANA­TAHU
A hill in New Zealand. This Maori name was in general use, but is now generally abbreviated to Taumata. The name means: the summit of the hill, where Tamatea, who is known as the land eater, slid down, climbed up and swallowed mountains, played on his nose flute to his loved one.
