FLOCCINAUCINIHILIPILIFICATION

轻蔑

By virtue of having one more letter than antidisestablishmentarianism, this is the longest non-technical English word. A mash-up of five Latin roots, it refers to the act of describing something as having little or no value. While it made the cut in the Oxford English Dictionary, Merriam-Webster volumes refuse to recognize it, chalking up its existence to little more than linguistic ephemera.

这个单词凭借“一字之差”，超过antidisestablishmentarianism(反对教会与国家分开学说)，成为最长的非技术性英语单词。它由5个拉丁语词根组成，用来形容认为某件事物没有什么价值。虽然这个单词被《牛津英语词典》收录，但《韦氏词典》却将其拒之门外，因为它在英语中不过是一个“昙花一现”的单词。
