The word pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (also spelled -koniosis) is defined as "a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica (sandlike) dust, mostly found in volcanoes". It was originally coined simply to serve as the longest English word, but has been used in several sources as an approximation of its originally intended definition. The name generally used to describe this condition is pneumoconiosis.

Are you referring to common usage or just an English word? There are many technical or chemical names that are very long. You should probably limit your word choice to common usage. Sorry to not have a word for you.
