∙ 11y agoThe correct spelling is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (45 letters). The word was coined in 1935 specifically to be the longest word in English. It refers to a disease known as silicosis.
The word is fairly easy to spell if you reduce it to sections:
pneumono (like pneumonia, causes fluid in the lungs)
ultramicroscopic (very small)
silico (caused by a silica compound)
volcanoconi (from a volcanic cone)
osis (a disease)
