Sure, why not. Then I can put "ally" making it into an adverb and an even longer word. I wonder what we could put on the front? "Pre"? "Neo"?

antidisestablishmentarianism
is the word
Antidisestablishmentarianism originated in the context of the nineteenth century Church of England, where "antidisestablishmentarians" were opposed to proposals to remove the Church's status as the state church of England.
If the word is taken literally, it could mean 'against the enemies of the establishment, but not necessarily aligned with the establishment'. To make an example: If you take terrorism to be against the establishment, and thus disestablishmentarian, then those who oppose terrorism (but don't necessarily support the target of terrorism) could be said to be displaying antidisestablishmentarianism.

This 'ANTIESTABLISHMENTARIANISM' is supposed to be the longest English word. It is treated as a Single word though it is a derivative of the verb 'establish'.
The word & its meaning have been discussed in depth in Yahoo Answers Words & Wordplay.

It looks like you accidentally added an i at the end, but yup, that's pretty much the definition, and it really is a word.

Yeah. More specifically it is against people who are against the Church of England having privileges not granted to other churches. (Land ownership, I think.)

I put this into websters online dictionary and it came up with "The word you've entered isn't in the dictionary."
I would say it's not a real word.
