The longest word in English that appears in at least some dictionaries is “pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis,” which has 45 letters. It is the name of a lung disease (pneumono) that is caused by inhaling very small (ultramicroscopic) silicone particles from a volcano. The term was coined specifically to serve as an example of a long word.
The second-longest word is “pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism” (30 letters), which is a rare genetic disorder that mimics the symptoms of a thyroid disorder.
Very long words are able to be created in English by adding prefixes and suffixes on to a base word. This process is essentially limitless, which is why most long words have several prefixes and suffixes.
