Why is monosyllabic such a long word?

EDIT Totally useless fact noted whilst checking the spelling of the above:-

The longest English word of one syllable (in some dialects) is the ten-letter squirreled, as in "I've squirreled away my nuts for the winter." According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the ten-letter scraunched, appearing in a 1620 translation of Cervantes' Don Quixote, is also a very long word for being only a single syllable. It is a largely obsolete form of scrunched or crunched.
