What is the longest word in the dictionary?

Question

And how do you spell it and what does it mean?

Thanks :)

Answer 1

pneumonoultramicroscopicsilico
volcanoconiosis - kind of a fancy kind of flu. Put these two word fragments together.

Two chemical terms (3,641 and 1,913 letters long) have appeared in the Guinness Book of World Records. They were withdrawn because they have never been used by chemists, and there is no theoretical limit to the length of possible legitimate chemical terms. A DNA molecule could have a name of over 1,000,000,000 letters if it was written out in full.
(1,185) ACETYL­SERYL­TYROSYL­SERYL­ISO... = Tobacco Mosaic Virus, Dahlemense Strain.

Another word is : antidisestablishmentarianism.

Answer 2

Actually, it's not ANTI­DIS­ESTABLISH­MENT­ARIAN­ISM.

It's...

PNEUMONO­ULTRA­MICRO­SCOPIC­SILICO­VOLCANO­CONIOSIS (also spelled PNEUMONO­ULTRA­MICRO­SCOPIC­SILICO­VOLCANO­KONIOSIS) = 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) HEPATICO­CHOLANGIO­CHOLECYST­ENTERO­STOMIES = 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.

Answer 3

Acknowledgement is the longest word & its meant acceptance & as per law rule its mean proof of any particular things or say copy.

Answer 4

pneumono­ultra­micro­scopic­silico­volcano­coniosis, a 45-letter word supposed to refer to a lung disease contracted from the inhalation of volcanic ash, but research has discovered that this word was originally intended as a hoax. It has since been used in a close approximation of its originally intended meaning, lending at least some degree of validity to its claim..
