Today while browsing the ever so beautiful interwebs, I came across something interesting about Shakespeare. Turns out that our second favourite William (after the one and only William Gates of course) invented over 1700 of the words we use commonly use, by simply turning nouns into verbs, adjectives into verbs, and so forth..
Here is a very small list of words he invented:
Accused
Addiction
Advertising
Amazement
Arouse
Assassination
Bandit
Bedroom
Beached
Blanket
Bump
Cater
Champion
Countless
Epileptic
Fixture
Flawed
Generous
Hint
Lonely
Mimic
Negotiate
Obscene
Premeditated
Rant
Summit
Torture
Varied
Worthless
Zany
