what is the longest word in english?is it the standard word of dna?

Answer 1

The longest word in any English dictionary is Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (45 letters), which was actually coined for the purpose of being the longest word in the English dictionary.

The longest non-technical word in the English language is "Floccinaucinihilipilification" (29 letters) which is defined as is "the act or habit of estimating or describing something as worthless, or making something to be worthless by deprecation". However this may also have been created as a hoax.

Antidisestablishmentarianism has 28 letters and is defined as "a political philosophy opposed to the separation of church and state, esp. opponents in 19th century England against separating the Anglican church from the state".

DNA is actually two words "Deoxyribonucleic acid" (16 and 4 letters)

Answer 2

The longest word in English depends upon the definition of what constitutes an English word. English allows new words to be formed by construction; long words are coined; place names may be considered words; technical terms may be arbitrarily long. Length can be in terms of orthography and number of written letters or phonology and the number of phonemes.

The longest word in any major English language dictionary is pneumono­ultra­micro­scopic­silico­volcano­coniosis, a 45-letter word supposed to refer to a lung disease contracted from the inhalation of fine silica dust, 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.

However, The Oxford English Dictionary contains pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism (30 letters). And even better: In his play Ecclesiazousae ("The Assemblywomen"), the ancient Greek comedic playwright Aristophanes created: Lopadotemachoselachogaleokranioleipsanodrimhypotrimmatosilphioparaomelitokatakechymenokichlepikossyphophattoperisteralektryonoptekephalliokigklopeleiolagoiosiraiobaphetraganopterygon, a word of 183 letters that describes a dish by stringing together its ingredients Bet you can't even pronounce that one can you? I CAN'T!

Answer 3

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis:
an alleged lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica dust found in volcanoes. It was coined to serve as the longest English word. The more general and widely used term for this condition is pneumoconiosis.
dna is only a 14 or 16 letter phrase i believe.

Answer 4

Answer 5

it is antidisestablishmentarianism. it has been removed from most dictionaries due to the fact that it isn't used or even known of by most people, but there may be another word that is larger. I'm not quite sure of the word, but I believe it has something to do with studying of volcanoes.. It's not one of your everyday words either though or
pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

It is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary "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."
