Super – On top.
Cali – Nice.
Fragilistic – Gentle.

Docious – Learning.
So we end up with: “Leaning through something that is very gentle and beautiful.” But if you watch the movie you can discover that he supercalifragilisticexpialidocious meaning is actually: “something to say when you are speechless”.
