FLOCCINAUCINIHILIPILIFICATION

輕蔑

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.

這個單詞憑藉“一字之差”，超過antidisestablishmentarianism(反對教會與國家分開學說)，成爲最長的非技術性英語單詞。它由5個拉丁語詞根組成，用來形容認爲某件事物沒有什麼價值。雖然這個單詞被《牛津英語詞典》收錄，但《韋氏詞典》卻將其拒之門外，因爲它在英語中不過是一個“曇花一現”的單詞。
