7 Syllable Nouns

There are many types of nouns. You have proper, common, collective, and abstract nouns. 7-syllable nouns mostly fall under the abstract category – they can’t be seen or touched.

Unconventionality: If you eat ice cream for breakfast, that’s something unconventional. But how do you use the word as a noun? You can say, “His unconventionally made him the talk of the town.”
Sentimentalization: Sentimentalization is like romanticizing or viewing the past through “rose-tinted glasses.” For instance, “This movie is a sentimentalization of the 1950s.”
Immeasurability: This word refers to the inability to measure another noun, including infinite nouns. For instance, “The immeasurability of space terrifies some people because it makes it impossible to fully map.”
Irreversibility: If you can’t undo changes, you’re experiencing irreversibility.
Maneuverability: If something is easy to move, you may say it has great maneuverability. It’s more commonly used to describe vehicles, equipment, etc.
Editorialization: This seven-syllable word is, as its name suggests, is about editorializing something. For instance, Editorialization has ruined this news channel because everyone just gives their opinions instead of facts.
Oversimplification: Using oversimplification means making a noun (often another abstract noun) so simple that it loses its real meaning. For instance, “Their oversimplification of the problem left everyone confused.”
Inaccessibility: This seven-syllable word means that something cannot be reached. For instance, “The inaccessibility of the locked room ensured she would never gain access without a security badge.”
Incompatibility: Incompatible is the opposite of compatibility, which means there are differences that make it incompatible for a person or a thing to work together. For instance, “While she found him attractive, his rude attitude led to instant incompatibility, and they would never date.”
Decriminalization: The government may use decriminalization to make something “not illegal.” For example, “The decriminalization of illegal drugs in the state means more people will get help instead of criminal charges.”
Impermeability: This is a state wherein an object cannot be permeated by any liquid.
Compartmentalization: This long seven-syllable word explains the act of separating things, ideas, thoughts, people, etc., into categories or compartments. For instance, “The compartmentalization of the company caused poor communication between the departments.”
Indispensability: This is the state wherein something or someone cannot be easily replaced. For example, “Her new education from the training boosted her indispensability, better securing her position in the company.”

7 Syllable Adjectives

As with nouns, there are several types of adjectives, but overall, you use them to better describe a noun (or pronoun). For example, you use comparative adjectives to clearly state the differences between two or more nouns or pronouns. For attributive adjectives, however, you can use them to modify a noun. Check out these four 7 syllable adjectives.

Microbiological: Microbiology is the study of lifeforms viewed only through a microscope. Therefore, when describing a noun that relates to microbiology, modify it with microbiological. Example: The microbiological testing continued for hours as the scientists viewed the new bacteria under the microscope.
Parasitological: Parasitology, another field of biology, focuses on parasites. For this reason, you can use this word when discussing parasitology, but you may also use it to describe a noun that is symbolically a parasite. For instance, Her parasitological behavior left others exhausted.
Inadmissibility: This adjective modifies a noun to express that it cannot be accepted, used, or tolerated. It’s commonly used in the legal field. For example, “The inadmissibility of the witness statement means the jury can’t use it to determine a judgment.”
Neuropsychological: Another term commonly used in the medical field, this word modifies a noun to clarify that it is related to psychological and neurological concerns. For instance, “They attended the neuropsychological debate to better understand the connection between neurological and psychological observations.”
