词汇 | supercalifragilisticexpialidocious |
词源 | supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. This word, from a song in the film Mary Poppins, may be the longest (34 letters) com- monly used word of all time. It means the greatest, the best of all. There are many far, far longer words, but no longer word has been spoken or sung by so many people. In fact, the only rival that comes even close is antidisestablishmentarianism, which many people think (falsely) is the longest English word. |
