floccinaucinihilipilification
語源
Latin floccus (“a wisp”) + naucum (“a trifle”) + nihilum (“nothing”) + pilus (“a hair”) + -fication
A jocular coinage, apparently by pupils at Eton College,[1] combining a number of Latin word stems. The word was inspired by a line present in various editions of William Lily's (c. 1468–1522) Latin grammars published around the 17th–19th centuries (including the Eton Latin Grammar),[2][3][4] in which some nouns commonly used in the genitive case with some verbs like pendo and facio are listed, which express evaluating something as worthless or as previously mentioned:
"Flócci of a lock of wool, náuci of a nut-shell, níhili of nóthing, píli of a hair, ássis of a pénny, hújus of this, terúncii of a fárthing, addúntur are ádded, peculiáritèr pecúliarly or véry próperly vérbis to verbs æstimándi of esteéming."
発音
名詞
floccinaucinihilipilification (uncountable)
- (often humorous) The act or habit of describing or regarding something as unimportant, of having no value or being worthless.
- 1741, William Shenstone, Letters:

- 2011, Bruce Ratner, Statistical and Machine-Learning Data Mining[6]:
- The quasi statistician would doubtlessly not know how to check this supposition, thus rendering the interpretation of the mean profit as floccinaucinihilipilification.

使用する際の注意点
- Often cited as the longest non-technical word in the English language, being one letter longer than the well-known antidisestablishmentarianism. It was the longest word ever recorded in Parliament after Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg used it in a 2012 debate, until the record was broken in 2017 by Michael Bryan with the word pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.[5]
