While creating a program to find the longest word that can be displayed on a seven segment display I discovered that 'blepharoblennorrhea' is two words, but is in the txt file as one word.

It's a valid word, albeit a portmanteau as so many medical words are, and has the following meaning:

Conjunctivitis or an inflammation of the membranes on the inner part of the eyelids and the membranes covering the white parts of the eyes with a purulent or a pus flow or discharge.
