(n.) The act of estimating something to be without value.

Originally coined by some clever student(s) at Eton College.
From the Latin words floccī + naucī + nihilī + pilī all meaning “of little or no value, trifling”
+
-fication from Latin -ficātiōn- (stem of -ficātiō) a making, equivalent to -ficā(re) -fy + -tiōn- -tion; in some words replacing Middle English -ficacioun from Anglo-French.

Used in a sentence:
“What is it about garage sales and flea markets that jump-start an overpowering sense of floccinaucinihilipilification in people?”
