Best Answer

Assassination, for one. It appears in Act 1 Scene 7 of Macbeth. Assassin existed, and assassinate, but not assassination.

Others often cited include "eyeball" (in Midsummer Night's Dream) or the verb "rant" (in Hamlet), or "skim milk" (in Henry IV Part 1).

Of course there are lots of words Shakespeare invented that did not catch on, like "superflux" (King Lear) which means the unnecessary part left over when you have too much of something.
