🌟 Apart from being a talented poet and playwright, William Shakespeare was also... an inventor! It is estimated that he coined over 1500 new words and expressions, and some of them remain in use to this day.

🌟 Words like cold-blooded, addiction, summit, obscene, exposure and scores of other words that are used in everyday speech were created by Shakespeare. Some of his coinages, however, can now be found only in literary works.

Our personal favourites are these five Shakespearean words, though nowadays you can rarely encounter them even in written speech:

😉Firmament (n.) - небосвод;
😉Termagant (n.) - сварливая женщина, мегера;
😉Vizard (n.) - личина, маска;
😉Incarnadine (v.) - окрасить в красный;
😉Limn (v.) - описывать, изображать.
