The longest word in any major English language dictionary is Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, a 45-letter word supposed to refer to a lung disease, but research has discovered that this word was originally intended as a hoax. It has since been used in a close approxmation of its originally intended context, lending at least some degree of validity to its claim. See the separate article for details.\n\nThe Guinness Book of Records, in its 1992 and subsequent editions, declared the "longest real word" in the English language to be floccinaucinihilipilification at 29 letters. Defined as "the act of estimating (something) as worthless", its usage has been recorded as far back as 1741. In recent times its usage has been recorded in the proceedings of the United States Senate by Senator Robert Byrd [1], and at the White House by Bill Clinton's press secretary Mike McCurry, albeit sarcastically. It is the longest non-technical word in the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary.\n\nAntidisestablishmentarianism (a 19th century movement in England opposed to the separation of church and state) at 28 letters is one of English's longest words.\n\nThe longest word which appears in William Shakespeare's works is the 27-letter honorificabilitudinitatibus, appearing in Love's Labour's Lost. This is arguably an English word (rather than Latin), but only because he used it.\n\nThe humuhumu-nukunuku-a-pua‘a, or reef triggerfish, is Hawaii's official state fish [1]. At 21 letters (22 counting the okina) it is one of the best known very long one-word names for an animal. It is often asserted that "the name is longer than the fish."\n\nAlthough only fourteen letters long, sesquipedalian deserves a mention. It is derived from a nonce word used by the Roman author Horace, in his work Ars Poetica (The Art of Poetry). The quote is as follows: "Proicit ampullas et sesquipedalia verba," which means, "He throws aside his paint pots and his words that are a foot and a half long". The Oxford English dictionary[2] lists sesquipedalianism ("the practice of using words one and a half feet long"), and further derivations can be created as described in the Constructions section below.

PNEUMONO­ULTRA­MICRO­SCOPIC­SILICO­VOLCANO­CONIOSIS (also spelled PNEUMONO­ULTRA­MICRO­SCOPIC­SILICO­VOLCANO­KONIOSIS) = a lung disease caused by breathing in particles of siliceous volcanic dust.\nThis is the longest word in any English dictionary. However, it was coined by Everett Smith, the President of The National Puzzlers' League, in 1935 purely for the purpose of inventing a new "longest word". The Oxford English Dictionary described the word as factitious. Nevertheless it also appears in the Webster's, Random House, and Chambers dictionaries.

There are a few to choose from, with some variation in sense. Aeternus is probably the stronger, more usual word to be found in Latin.\n\nsempiternus  - everlasting, eternal, imperishable (as long as time exists)\n\naeternus  - eternal, without begining or end, (even beyond time)\n\nin aeternum  - forever\n\nimmortalis - undying, immortal, eternal\n\nThe suggestion "perpetuus" may work in some instances but its meaning is more like "continuous", "unbroken", perhaps for a lifetime but not necessarily beyond that.
