Thank you Marcin Borkowski for your cheering contribution:

Indeed: This word is in active and daily use (fortunately not in mine).
As a standard example for the German composing scheme, the perfectly valid
German word
DonauDampfschifffahrts-GesellschaftsKapitänskajütenSchlüsselloch
although being somehow artificial became famous.
It is taken from German Wikipedia
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donaudampfschifffahrtsgesellschaftskapit%C3%A4n
and means "keyhole of the captain's cabin of the Donau steam shipping society".
And yes, there is a rule to use a dash between groups of tree words maximum
used in such a composition.

So one can use "arteoriaro" for a set of set theories? (Just to get the
feeling.)

ROFL! The example words are perfectly chosen: From the video one might get
the impression that the reason why Hunspell gives you so many alternatives
for German spellings is not diversity, but urgency.
(Being by far OT, I fortunately managed to use the word "Hunspell".)
