But that's a word combo, not a single word. Does that count?

the anomaly:
pnuemomonoultramicroscopicsiliconovolcanoconiosis

It doesn't mean anything and consists of adjectives spliced to nouns. I don't accept this. But Agent Zero's "Anti-disestablishmentarianism" is great!

I'm pretty sure we've found it.



Antidisestablishmentarianism is the longest word, if you're not going to count scientific names as words. Agent zero wins.

No chemicals



stinkz:

It's important that we don't count chemicals indeed.

You can always combine
Ethyl to Ethylendipropyl to Ethylendipropyloxonium or something like that...
