Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
Yes, you read that right!
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis!
Now, this is not a made up word but actually the longest English word recognized by many major dictionaries, standing at an impressive 45 letters long!
Here's a quick breakdown of the word:
- Pneumono: This is from the ancient Greek word πνεύμων for "lung"
- Ultramicroscopic: Self explanatory but in case you are a retard, looking at you @raymondspeaks, it stands for extremely small
- Silico: Referring to silica, a component of sand and quartz dust
- Volcano: Duh. Volcano 🌋
- Coniosis: This is a medical term for a lung disease caused by inhaling dust particles
And here's how to pronounce it properly. Probably. Maybe:
Btw, Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is a medical term coined in 1935 and is used to refer to a lung disease caused by inhaling very fine ash and sand dust.
In reality though it is rarely used in medical contexts.
Anyways, that's the quick tldr of the world's longest English word 😂
Here's a link to Wikipedia if you'd like to read more on the history of the term.
Speaking of long words, here's another quick interesting fact. According to a computer study of over a million samples of normal English prose, the longest word you are likely to encounter on an everyday basis is uncharacteristically!
Ok folks, this is it for today. I hopedl you enjoyed this post. Your favorite Wikipedia of useless facts (that's me) will return with more. Soon!
