What word, according to the Oxford dictionary, has 192 meanings?

Answer 1

Are you sure that's the number of meanings you're after? And which edition of the OED are you referring to?

At any rate, it is NOT "set", though that may be what you were after.

There has been a bit of trivia bumping about for a time, listing the top ten words in the SECOND edition, ALL of which exceed 192 listings (see below), including "set" which was at the top with 464 listings!

But in the third edition the top spot was taken over by the word "make".

OED's own comments about the third edition --

"For many years the verb to set has been cited as the longest entry in the OED. But a recheck shows that it has at last been toppled from this position. The longest entry in the revised matter is represented by the verb to make (published in June 2000). However, it is quite possible that set will regain its long-held position at the top of the league of long words when it comes itself to be revised.

"In ranking order, the longest entries currently in the online Third Edition of the OED are:
make (verb - revised),
set (verb),
run (verb)
take (verb)
go (verb)
pre- (revised)
non- (revised)
over- (revised)
stand (verb)
red
point (the noun - revised
