The word Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is defined as "a lung disease caused by the inhalation of
very fine silica dust, mostly found in volcanos". It was originally postulated by Everett M. Smith, simply to serve
as the longest English word, but has been used in several sources as an approximation of its originally intended
definition. The plural of this word, pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconioses is equally long.

Etymology

pneumono = related to lungs (Latin, from Greek)
ultra = beyond (Latin, as in "ultraviolet")
microscopic = extremely small (Latin/Old English, from Greek mikron, small, and skopos, view)
silico = silica (Latin)
volcano = volcano (Latin)
coni = related to dust (Greek: konis, dust)
osis = disease / condition (Greek)

History
It is the longest word ever to appear in an English language dictionary. This 45-letter word, referred to by
logologists as "P45"[1], first appeared in the Oxford English Dictionary in 1936, and has also since appeared in
the Webster's Third New International Dictionary, the Random House Dictionary of the English Language, Unabridged,
and the Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, as well as the Merriam Webster Medical Dictionary.
Critics of its designation as the longest word complained that it is a technical (specifically, medical) term, and
hence not worthy of consideration as the "longest word in general usage".
However, the more serious problem is that the word was originally intended as a hoax: In Word Ways: The Journal of
Recreational Linguistics, in several separate articles (May 1985, pp. 95-96; November 1986, pp. 205-206; May 1987,
p. 82; November 1989, p. 205 [1]), researchers discovered that the word was invented in 1935 by Everett M. Smith,
president of the National Puzzlers' League, at their annual meeting. The word occurred in a newspaper headline
about the meeting, after which it was picked up by an author of puzzle books. Members of the National Puzzlers'
League then campaigned to have it included in major dictionaries, eventually succeeding with the Oxford English
Dictionary and Webster's Third. Research into medical literature prior to 1935 has failed to find the word,
although, it has since been used, albeit sparingly.
The name generally used to describe this condition is pneumoconiosis, which is much shorter.
