Pronunciation: antīhōlistikmisəl

Sentence: The group of runners move in perfect unison, step for step as they careen toward the finish line, not thinking or caring about the condition of any of their members.

Etymology: anti (opposed to; against) + holistic (characterized by comprehension of the parts of something as intimately interconnected and explicable only by reference to the whole) + missle (a weapon that is self-propelled) A play on anti-ballistic missle
