PNEUMONO­ULTRA­MICRO­SCOPIC­SILICO­VOLCANO­CONIOSIS is the longest word in the Chambers, Webster's and Random House dictionaries. It is seen by some other dictionaries as a joke or "made up word purely for the purpose of inventing the longest word".

The meaning of this word is "a lung disease caused by breathing volcanic dust".
