Word of the Day: Floccinaucinihilipilification
Floccinaucinihilipilification is one of the longest non-technical words in English, which means the act of regarding something as worthless or insignificant. Originating in 18th-century England, it blends several Latin roots, flocci, nauci, nihili, and pili, all representing little or no value. Although rarely used in daily conversation, the word is popular among writers, scholars, and word enthusiasts who enjoy playful, precise language.
