Miland:It's meaning from what I've been able to refine:ceigered:Ekstertekstprilaborilularanindkunvenejetegmanierismo (52 letters)Could this be the theory of setting up conference centres suitable for those worthy of joining a group of executives, who leave (being "ekster") word processing to others?
The doctrine of manners relating being outside of extremely small assembly places worthy of word processor fellows (users, developers, etc).
But outsourced word processing sounds equally as possible . (or those who have an association with word processors while being outside of something ). Not to mention manierismo correlates to both a doctrine of manners and a European art style according to Vikipedio.
@Klnptrs78
I like that analogy (of the tree branch/root system giving out).

I recall from psychology classes that people most efficiently mentally process information in blocks of up to seven individual items. Based on that theory, as compounds attain more than 14 letters, they would become increasingly confusing. If a compound would be overly long, it might be a good idea to consider hyphenating it or wording it differently. If the reader must pause and puzzle out words, communication is lost.
I recall when i was beginning to study Esperanto. i came across the word "pasaĝerelirejo." I managed to figure it out but it seems to me that "pasaĝer-elirejo" is much more understandable and "elirejo por pasaĝeroj" is even more so.

The word anticonstitutionnellement (anticonstitutionally, 25 letters, quite long in English too) is said to be the longest French word, but it's shorter in Esperanto (kontraŭkonstitucie).

Now, I suppose comparing these sorts of words to the classic children's fable of The Emporer's New Clothes would not be entirely fair. the story reflects the gullibility of toxed up rich folks and royals that can be easily moved to believe that their fancy clothes are very nice looking. Many to this day are so toxed up and have lost family quality time from the crib on, to have little perspective or consciousness about typical common sense values, become impressed with vanities instead of seeig through things to see that they're really taxing themselves highly and not making the birthday suit that they were born with really look all that more appealiing at all, and making it virtually impossible to get any practical work done, and then, actually look down on the more responsible people in society who get their personal things done like mature well behaved adults. Here instead of clothes some pepper their conversation and writings with long unnecessarily fancy words and sentences. Then, the utility of the language is for the most part lost, just like the utility of overly vane clothing is a shameful waste.
In another movie the people from a very healthy culture of the time are depicted, and they are he braves and Pocahontas who look great with their healthy bodies that they've been using and they've been eating much healthier sorts of meals than most of the Europeans who have survived famane, plagues, horrible wars and broken families and the typical trouble about when most become in charge and/or become wealthy then, they ruin it by falling for vices. < Notice this horribly long sentence.
I think these fun contrasts are sort of like it is fun to dress for a party or occasion now and then, and it sort of emphasizes the need for straight forward communication when the call arises.
