A univocalic word is a word that contains only one type of vowel letter throughout its entire spelling, regardless of how many times that vowel is repeated or how many consonants appear.
Univocalic composition is a form of constrained writing popularized by the French literary group Oulipo. In the English language, creating long words using only a single vowel letter is extraordinarily difficult. The longest standard univocalics in English reach 17 letters: "defenselessnesses" (containing only the vowel E, repeated 6 times) and "synchrocyclotrons" (containing only the vowel O). Other famous examples include "indivisibility" (14 letters, only I), "strengths" (9 letters, only E), and "translatability" (15 letters, only A).
