Pancreatitis has a plethora of syllables.
So is antidisestablishmentarianism. Does it mean:
opposition to the withdrawal of state support or recognition from an established church, esp. the Anglican Church in 19th-century England.
the estimation of something as valueless (encountered mainly as an example of one of the longest words in the English language).
