Honorificabilitudinitatibus [Hono-rifica-bili-tudi-nita-tibus] is the ablative plural of the medieval Latin word honorificabilitudinitas, which means "the state of being able to achieve honours." It is used with this meaning by the character Costard in act five, scene one of William Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost.

It consists of 27 letters and the longest word Shakespeare ever used.[1]
