"Se" gets my vote. Not long in length, but definitely complicated.

This is the epitome of complicated. I saw this from a previous post and have loved the word ever since. Now of course, I can't say it ( well I can, it just takes me a few minutes and sounds more like a sentence than a word tongue laugh) , I think I might have Hipopotomonstrosesquipedaliofobia myself! tongue wink

Hipopotomonstrosesquipedaliofobia - a fear of the pronounciation of large and complicated words

Poner - it has 27 different meanings listed in the SpanishDict dictionary, 10 being pronomial uses (ponerse). It has about 10 additional phrases, but i think that's a low count.

insospechable - beyond suspicion

envejecimiento - aging

disquisición - digression/treatise

I am especially surprised that no one has ever used the last word on me, such as:

"Déjate de disquisiciones filosóficos" - Enough already with the lengthy explanations.

I don't know any really complicated english words, so...... wink

One word that I do like though is 'misericordia', it took me a while to get it to roll off my tongue.
