What is the longest word in the dictonary???

Answer 1

Sorry, your question is unanswerable, since there is no such thing as "the" dictionary. There are multitudes of dictionaries, with many different longest words.

Answer 2

This 1185-letter "word" is the chemical name for "Coat Protein, Tobacco Mosaic Virus, Dahlemense Strain". It is supposedly the longest word in the English language.

The term was published in the American Chemical Society's Chemical Abstracts in 1972, and is considered by some to be the longest real word. It does hold the record for the longest word published in an English language publication in a serious context — that is, for some reason other than to publish a very long word.

In its complete form, the 1185-letter word is:

acetylseryltyrosylserylisoleucylthreonylserylprolylserylglutaminyl-
phenylalanylvalylphenylalanylleucylserylserylvalyltryptophylalanyl-
aspartylprolylisoleucylglutamylleucylleucylasparaginylvalylcysteinyl-

Answer 3

Floccinaucinihilipilification was invented to be the longest word in the English language (it is one letter longer than antidisestablishmentarianism).

For a long time it was the longest word in the Oxford English Dictionary, but a recent revision included that lung disease.

Answer 4

why is it a long weekend? 1. clean the aquariums 2. do laundry 3. play videogames 4. clean the house 5. finally reread the permit handbook so i can get my permit and drivers license this summer. 6. go out to dinner since my sister is comming back home from college and my other sisters birthday is on sunday i think she is going to be 26 or 27 this year. other then that nothing really just help my mom clean up the house for when my sister gets home

Answer 5

"floccinaucinihilipilification" is the longest I ever saw, in an unabridged Oxford dictionary... means "something of little or no value, a trifling." Funny, huh?

No chemical or disease words count with me; they're endless and not in many books at all. Maybe you have to be very specific. ??

Answer 6

Answer 7

SmileS.

There is a mile between the 2 letters, so it is the longest word

:-)

Answer 8

Pneumonoultramicroscopic silicovolcanoconiosis. It is a type of lung disease. Just pretend the space isn't in the middle because if you type the whole word you get Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.
