Detailed explanation-1: -Along with these everyday words invented by Shakespeare, he also created a number of words in his plays that never quite caught on in the same way… Shakespearean words like ‘Armgaunt’, ‘Eftes’, ‘Impeticos’, ‘Insisture’, ‘Pajock’, ‘Pioned’ ‘Ribaudred’ and ‘Wappened’.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the first scene of Othello we find, for example, the words circumstance (meaning “circumlocution”), spinster (meaning “one who spins”), propose (meaning “converse”), peculiar (meaning “personal”), owe (meaning “own”), and bravery (meaning “impertinence, defiance”).
Detailed explanation-3: -In Macbeth, Shakespeare coins an extraordinary number of words and phrases, including ‘assassination’, ‘unsex’ and ‘stealthy’. David Crystal shows how these linguistic innovations help express the action and atmosphere of the play and the troubled psychology of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth.
