What is an Elizabethan word from one of Shakespeare's plays that is no longer in use?
There isn't one. Since all of Shakespeare's plays are constantly performed in their original language, all of the words he uses are currently being used, even if only for the limited purpose of performing his plays. The issue is complicated by the fact that some of the words Shakespeare used were words he made up himself, and did not catch on. One of my favourites is "superflux" which is used in the play King Lear and means "the excess". Shakespeare just made that up, but nobody uses it except people who are playing or quoting King Lear.

Why in Shakespeares days may we see the words players exit?
In Shakespeare's time, the term "exit" was used in plays to indicate when a character leaves the stage. This direction was crucial for actors to know their cues and for the audience to understand the flow of the narrative. The use of Latin and other languages in theater also influenced staging conventions, as "exit" derives from the Latin word for "he goes out." Additionally, clear stage directions helped maintain the pacing and clarity of the performance in the often crowded and noisy environment of Elizabethan theaters.
