What did Shakespeare mean by the word weird?
Shakespeare only uses this word in one play, Macbeth, and then almost always in the phrase "weird sisters", although there is one "weird women". The reason is that "weird" was not a word used in Shakespeare's time at all, except in the phrase "weird sisters", which referred to the characters in mythology, the Fates. "Weird Sisters" were women who could tell or determine the Fate of others, as indeed the witches do in Macbeth. In Middle English a weard was a prophecy or prophet. The word "weird" used in anything but this specialized sense has arisen since entirely and exclusively because of Shakespeare's use of it.
