Because the person who invented the word for it wanted to make it a long word because of it's meaning, so they picked loads of latin words and stuff that meant long, big, etc. They just did it to be ironic. I think it's cruel.

What is hippomonstrosesquipedaliophobia?
Ironically, it is the fear of long words.It's actually spelled "hippomonstrosesquipedaliophobia". Only one 'p' in the 'sesquipedali' part of the word (coming from the word 'sesquipedalian' meaning long word.) but yes, it is ironically 'the fear of long words'.It is supposed to mean "the fear of long words" but actually sesquipediophobia means that. As a genuine long word, it is probably a good candidate for floccinaucinihilpilification.__________________To me, it looks like the fear of visible [mostro] seven legged [sesquipedal] horses [hippo, from the Greek hippos]. Haven't seen one of those in an age. Only the invisible ones are common nowadays. Kidding aside, sesquipedalian means multi-syllabled, so this word is used to describe a fear of long words. But the word is not particularly satisfying to me. I agree that the application of floccinaucinihilpilification is in order. If we are going to eschew obfuscation we may as well have mirth and regalement while doing it.
