It is NOT a term for your crotch or "package", as the earlier answer stated. Here is the correct definition of a codpiece: A codpiece (from Middle English cod, "scrotum") is a flap or pouch that attaches to the front of the crotch of men's trousers to provide a covering for the genitals. It was held closed by string ties, buttons, or other methods. It was an important item of European clothing in the 15th and 16th centuries, and it is still worn today in performance costume and in the leather subculture. Now I know you will sleep better, knowing what a codpiece really is - and isn't :-)

What does cod in Shakespearean mean?

Shakespeare never uses the word "cod" by itself, just in the words "codpiece" and "peascod". A peascod was a pea-pod, the container peas grow in. The codpiece was the part of the pants (worn during that era) which was a pouch sewn to the front of the pants in order to contain the male genitalia. Presumably it got its name because it looked a bit like a pea-pod.
