Best Answer

Shakespeare wrote in English and so if you want to find out what a word meant to him, check out an English dictionary. With a few exceptions, you will find the meaning there, although it may not be the main meaning of the word. Disgrace, however, has always meant disgrace: to shame someone, to cause people to lose respect for that person.
