The longest word in the English language featuring alternating consonants and vowels, honorificabilitudinitatibus appears only once in Shakespeare’s works—in Love’s Labour’s Lost (1598). Its use has been cited by Baconists as evidence that Francis Bacon was the real author of Shakespeare’s plays. They see in it an anagram for hi ludi, F. Baconis nati, tuiti orbi, meaning “these plays, F. Bacon’s offspring, are preserved for the world.” What does the original word mean? Discuss
