What is the longest word in English?

Question

i need to know the longest word in english and what does it mean.

Answer 1

PNEUMONO­ULTRA­MICRO­SCO
PIC­SILICO­VOLCANO­CONIOSIS (also spelled PNEUMONO­ULTRA­MICRO­SCO
PIC­SILICO­VOLCANO­KONIOSIS)

it's 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, in1935 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.

Answer 2

antidisestablishmentarianism

and it means

Being opposed to the belief that there should no longer be an official church a the country. The word is longest word in the English language. There is a town in Wales with a larger number of letters, but it is a place name, not a word.

Answer 3

This is a very subjective question, because everyone has their own standards of what is considered a "real" word and what is not.

Personally, I think it's pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica dust found in volcanoes.

You can easily find answer(s) to this question on Google or Wikipedia or anywhere else on the internet...
