Honorificabilitudinity

 

N. Honorableness

 

From Medieval Latin honorificabilitudinitas, from Latin honor.

 

Another form of this, honorificabilitudinitatibus (27 letters), is the longest word Shakespeare ever used. It comes out of the mouth of Costard, the clown, in Love's Labour's Lost.

 

It was a matter of honor.

Not just his honor. His country's honor too. Human kind's honor, maybe.

And as a prince it was his duty to uphold this honor.

This honor had been soiled.

Long ago, he thought it was his fault that his honor had been taken from him. Long ago, he would've done anything to get that honor back.

Long ago, he had been a different person.

But now he saw that, yes, his honor had been taken from him, but by a person who had no honor left in him. A man who'd stolen all the honor from a country that prided itself on that.

As a prince, it was his duty to remedy this.

It was, after all, a matter of honor.

 

Notes:

Grammar mistakes fixed. Thank gods.

I was gonna make it longer. I couldn't think of anything else to write.

I have to write something for this:

“And if you torture words enough, they confess to anything.”
