Long is an English equivalent of 'lungo'. It's a masculine adjective that's pronounced 'LOON-goh'. It's used to describe a certain kind of espresso coffee, in which there's twice the usual amount of water. Running twice the amount of water results in a longer pull/fill time. It thereby results in a greater amount of time for the water to pass through the coffee grounds. The longer pull/fill time therefore adds extracts that don't dissolve in the regular amount of time. The resulting espresso reflects the slower passage and the greater contribution of extracts to the taste. That's what accounts for the lungo's weaker, but more bitter taste.
