It depends on what your criteria are. Biggest scientific word? Biggest word in the Oxford dictionary? Biggest word that hasn't been modified with prefixes and suffixes?
However; generally speaking the generally accepted answer for this type of question is antidisestablishmentarianism.

Answer 9

Antidisestablishmentarianism - originated in the context of the nineteenth century Church of England, where "antidisestablishmentarians" were opposed to proposals to remove the Church's status as the state church of England. The movement succeeded in England, but failed in Ireland and Wales, with the Church of Ireland being disestablished in 1871 and the Church of Wales in 1920. Antidisestablishmentarian members of the Free Church of Scotland delayed merger with the United Presbyterian Church of Scotland in a dispute about the position of the Church of Scotland. The term has largely fallen into disuse, although the issue itself is still current (see Act of Settlement 1701).
