Hyphen Trouble


From the Chicago Manual of Style Online: 

Q. I was not able to find this in CMOS anywhere: how do you hyphenate a word that has both a prefix and a suffix? For example, should “seminationwide” have any hyphens?

A. In Chicago style, it would not have hyphens. I should point out, however, that such a word might invite further editorial scrutiny.
