In the English language, it used to be antidisestablishmentarianism…but, that term no longer exists.

how can a term cease to exist??

it was used during the 19th century to describe the opposition to the withdrawal of state support from an established church.
But, there is actually a longer word in the English language.
“pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis” is a lung disease, caused by the inhalation of very fine silica dust.

I thought it was… “Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia” and what a coincidence.. the word means fear of long words.
