The longest word in the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) is "pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis," a term referring to a lung disease caused by inhaling very fine silicate or quartz dust. This 45-letter word is often cited as an example of an intentionally long word coined to serve as the longest English word. While it is rarely used in everyday language, it highlights the potential for word formation in English.
