    The longest non chemical word is PNEUMONOULTRAMICROSCOPICSILICOVOLCANOCONIOSIS

    meaning-a lung disease caused by breathing in particles of siliceous volcanic dust
    still that is a collection of phrases.

    Pneumo: lung
    ultra: very small
    microscopic
    silico: made of sillicon
    volcano: out of volcano
    coniosis: fibrosing disease

    Still it is not an english word. This is a medical term.
