pneumonultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Senses: examples: text: The idea of etymology is new to most students. When explaining the definitions of roots, affixes (prefixes and suffixes), derivatives, etc., present them with the following word: pneumonultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. Begin by asking if anyone would like to tackle the pronunciation of this word. Then ask students what parts of the word look familiar. From that point on, put all the parts together in a logical definition. The students will find that their definition is similar to the actual meaning. That exercise engages them in a fun but meaningful introduction to etymology. (Note: pneumonultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is a medical condition known as “black lung disease.”)
