The roots of the word have been defined as follows: super- "above", cali- "beauty", fragilistic- "delicate", expiali- "to atone", and -docious "educable", with the sum of these parts signifying roughly "Atoning for educability through delicate beauty." According to the film, it is defined as "something to say when you have nothing to say".
"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it is something quite atrosicous!
If you say it loud enough, you'll always sound precocious,

Mary Poppins:
When Stone Age men were chatting, merely grunting would suffice.
Bert:
Now if they heard this word, they might have used it once or twice!
Mrs. Corry:
I'm sure Egyptian pharoahs would have grasped it in a jiff,
Then every single pyramid would bear this hieroglyph;
Oh!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Say it and wild animals would not seem so ferocious!
Mary Poppins:
Add some further flourishes, it's so ro-co-co-coscious!

The Druids could have carved it on their mighty monoliths!
Mrs. Corry:
I'm certain the ancient Greeks would have used it in their midst!
Mary Poppins:
I'm sure the Roman Empire only entered the abyss,
Because those Latin scholars never had a word like this!
Ensemble:
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Mary Poppins:
If you say it softly the effect can be hypnoscious!
Bert:
Check your breath before you speak, in case it's halitotious!

Mary Poppins (spoken):
Of course you can say it backwards, which is Suoicodilaipxecitsiligarfilacrepus!
Michael (spoken):
She may be tricky, but she's bloody good!
Mary Poppins:
So when the cat has got your tongue, there's no need for dismay!
Just summon up this word and then you've got a lot to say!
Bert:
Pick out those eighteen consonants and sixteen vowels as well,
And put them in an order which is very hard to spell...
