“This 1185-letter “word” is the chemical name for “Coat Protein, Tobacco Mosaic Virus, Dahlemense Strain”. It is supposedly the longest word in the English language.

The term was published in the American Chemical Society’s Chemical Abstracts in 1972, and is considered by some to be the longest real word.

antidisestablishmentarianism ….. 28 letters. (the Longest ACCEPTED word in the english language)…

1. opposition to the withdrawal of state support or recognition from an established church, (esp. the Anglican Church in 19th-century England. )

2. originally, opposition to the disestablishment of the Church of England, now opposition to the belief that there should no longer be an official church in a country
