      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. It does hold the record for the longest word in an English language publication in a serious context, that is, for some reason other than to publish a very long word.

              the longest word depends on many things.. usually people talk about longest word in dictionary.. which is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis which is actually a medical word...
