403523
Frangipane is used commonly to refer to a filling tasting of almonds or made from almonds. This filling can be used in a variety of ways including cakes, tarts and other assorted pastries. An alternative French spelling from a 1674 cookbook is franchipane with earliest modern spelling coming from a 1732 confectioners' dictionary. Originally designated as a custard tart that is flavored by almonds or pistachios it came later to designate a filling that could be used in a variety of confections and baked goods. There is an unclear linguistic connection between Frangipani (see plumeria) the flower; Frangipani, the nobleman perfume maker to King Louis XIII of France and the food product.\n\nFrangipane can also refer to:\n\nA custard filling flavored with almonds and/or crushed macaroons. \nA Belgian almond pastry tart. Usually the individual cakes have a striped pattern on top, occasionally with icing.

www.dictionary.com :\n\n[French, from Medieval Latin assassnus, from Arabic an, pl. of a, hashish user, from a, hashish. See hashish.]\n\nWord History: At first glance, one would be hard-pressed to find a link between pleasure and the acts of assassins. Such was not the case, however, with those who gave us the word assassin. They were members of a secret Islamic order originating in the 11th century who believed it was a religious duty to harass and murder their enemies. The most important members of the order were those who actually did the killing. Having been promised paradise in return for dying in action, the killers, it is said, were made to yearn for paradise by being given a life of pleasure that included the use of hashish. From this came the name for the secret order as a whole, an, “hashish users.” After passing through French or Italian, the word came into English and is recorded in 1603 with reference to the Muslim Assassins.

floccinaucinihilipilification (FLOK-si-NO-si-NY-HIL-i-PIL-i-fi-KAY-shuhn) noun\n\n   Estimating something as worthless.\n\n[From Latin flocci, from floccus (tuft of wool) + nauci, from naucum (a trifling thing) + nihili, from Latin nihil (nothing) + pili, from pilus (a hair, trifle) + -fication (making).]\n\nThis word was coined by combining four Latin terms flocci, nauci, nihili, pili, all meaning something of little or no value, which were listed in the well-known "Eton Latin Grammar" of Eton College in the UK.\n\nThe Oxford English Dictionary shows the first use of the word by William Shetstone in 1777: "I loved him for nothing so much as his flocci-nauci-nihili-pili-fication of money."\n\nThe word seems to be popular in the US government. It has been heard from the mouths of White House Press Secretary Mike McCurry, Senator Robert Byrd, and Senator Jesse Helms among others. Maybe that tells us something about the US Congress's interest in the floccinaucinihilipilification of taxpayers'\nmoney.

I guess it comes from "molecule."  By the way, do you know what chemists use to make guacamole?  Ans: Avogadros!\n\nAdditional:  Yep, I was right...\n\n"The name mole (German Mol) is attributed to Wilhelm Ostwald who introduced the concept in the year 1902. It is an abbreviation for molecule (German Molekül), which is in turn derived from Latin moles "mass, massive structure". He used it to express the gram molecular weight of a substance."\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mole_%28unit%29

The answer is hidden in the question itself, the word is too long because it is a word, not abbreviation (from the Latin "abbreviatio", verb is to "abbreviate" - make briefer); unfortunately i don't know any officially used abbreviation for "abbreviation", but i can figure it out: let me see, something lika "abbr." or "abn" either "abvn".\n“Brevity” is indeed connected to “Abbreviation”, but is (through mediation of French) coming from Latin “Brevitas” (having Brevi- + -tas) from adjective “Brevis” – “Short”, becoming in English “Brief”. That’s all official information about it. Such terms are generally having a Latin origin.

Many of the entomology's will say it is from late french writing about prostitutes.  But I don;t buy it.\n\nSeveral years ago I was reading an early (1st century) roman text. It had the a word similar to pornia or pornios or in it. ( I can't remember and it wasn't important to what I was doing) I tried to find the word in dictionaries but it wasn't there. It was obvious from the context the word had something to do with pictures. The current Latin dictionaries do not have any words for picture or anything like it. If you go back to roman ruins you can see that they had the most extensive art it the history of the world to that point, and no word for "picture" ? (" pictura" latin for paint is the root of our word picture but Romans had pictures as well and where is that word?) \n\n I stick with a Latin root I am willing to bet no one has done the necessary footwork to document it. Pictures of sex have been around for a couple of thousand years and the Romans didn't miss a beat when it came to anything of perversion or commerce. \n\nThe late 19th century explanation is just plain wrong. The word is much older than that.
