The longest word in English(Except for Sciencetic word)





The Longest word in Englih(Except for Science terms),, is


Floccinaucinihilipilification [FLOK-sih-noh-see-NEE-hee-lee-PEE-lih-fih-KAY-shun]


[플록시노시나이힐리필리피케이션]




Definition of Floccinau,,,,,,tion: The estimation of something as worthless.




The term is usually used as an example of a very long word. It originates from the Latin words flocci, nauci and pili, and it appeared in the Oxford English Dictionary's first edition (published in separate sections between 1884-1928). The Dictionary cites it as humorous and gives the following examples of its usage:




[e.g]I loved him for nothing so much as his floccinaucinihilipilification of money.-William Shenstone, Letters



They must be taken with an air of contempt, a floccinaucinihilipilification of all that can gratify the outward man. -Sir Walter Scott, Journal

Tutor's tip: Supposedly the President of The National Puzzlers' League, E. Smith, in 1935 created this new "longest word" (45 letters). While he wasn't able to convince people to use it, it was included in various dictionaries!
