∙ 12y agoAlthough Shakespeare is credited with "creating" as many as 1700 words, most of these are words which first appeared in print in his works. Also, most of them were variations on words which were already well-known, so it would be easy for the audience to make the connection. For example, the word "assassin" was well-known, but we do not know anyone before Shakespeare who used the related word "assassination". Or sometimes, a word existed but Shakespeare is the first person credited with using it in a new sense.
Here are some of Shakespeare's more original coinages: "eyeball" (The Tempest), "bedazzled" (Taming fo the Shrew), "lackluster" (As You Like It), "motionless" (Henry V), "new-fangled" (Love's Labour's Lost), "sanctimonious" (Measure for Measure), "schoolboy" (Julius Caesar), "whirligig" (Twelfth Night)
He also coined a large number of words which never caught on. You can usually guess what they mean from the context: words like superserviceable, bubukles, incarnadine, or credent. Then there are the words that just make you scratch your head. One wonders if the audience's of Shakespeare's day did the same. Things like "He wears his honour in a box, unseen, that hugs his kicky-wicky here at home." (All's Well that Ends Well) "Kicky-wicky"?
