And, a sesquipedal is a person who has [sesquipedalian] tendencies.

The word is traced to the ancient Roman poet Horace, who in a [treatise] on crafting poetry, wrote that in certain circumstances, one must avoid [sesquipedalia verba], a Latin construct meaning “words a foot and a half long.” Horace clearly had a sense of humor. (Source- Dictionary.com)
