Just to note my mistake -- Shakespeare invented the word ACADEME, not academy... I'm sorry for the misinformation here - it was not intentional! The "academe" is a word for the academic community, and very closely linked to "academia".
Sorry, but no one invented much after the greeks. Specially not Shakespeare. He’s really good and all but at best he introduced greek words to the English language (probably through French or Italian if not ancient greek but that’s just a guess). But you should definitely check out a brazilian author named Guimarães Rosa sometime if you can. He invented some words based on his knowledge of the linguistic principles on the origin, appearing and structure of words from the numerous languages he knew. Pretty cool as well.
When a character said 'Amazement', how did the audience know what it meant? Did William Shakespeare explain the definition of the words before the play began?
@@gtafilms1197 I´m no expert and not even a native english speaker, but that sort of thing also works in german, so I figure it must have also been the case in english :)
@@gtafilms1197 I think the word "amaze" may just have been coming into use. People used to say "you have put me in a maze". Meaning you confused them as if you dropped them into a maze. And it grew from that. Similarly "bewilderment" meant that someone had "wildered" you, i.e. took you out into the deep woods and left you there....
English is a second language for me and when I read in english and I don't know the word, but parts of the word, I can guess the meaning by the word I know and the context. I think it worked the same back then
We don't know if Shakespeare coined any of those words. We just know that he was the first one to put them into print. When one is writing plays, inventing words the audience doesn't understand is a bad idea.
Academy is a Greek word (same with anthipathy of course) akademos was a hero of Greek mythology and a suburb of Athens even took his name and this is where Plato used to teach.
I can't think this is true. Because academy is in many romance languages. Akademos is a great hero that the park in which platos academy met was named Akademeia for . Its also in french latin spanish etc. It wouldn't make sense for shakespeare to have invented it. Antipathy is also in every other romance language like french spanish latin etc. Its also in greek as a phrase not as one word though its anti pathos ..meaning anti feelings.
Many words have Greek and Latin origins, but the way they are pronounced and spelled were created by many people. Yes, antipathy has Greek origins, while Shakespeare created to word antipathy. These two things can be true at the same time.
Created the word though, or introduced it to English as a loan from Greek? Also fellow Greek and linguistics nerd here, and I wanted to comment the same thing.
Fact check: The Academy (Ancient Greek: Ἀκαδημία) was founded by Plato in c. 387 BC in Athens. Aristotle studied there for twenty years (367-347 BC) before founding his own school, the Lyceum.

Hello Ruby I am a bit confused. It may be more precise to state: word forged abd/or introduced in the english language. Because ACADEMY and ANTIPATHY are greek words used also in the latin literature

@@QuestionsIAskMyself the pronunciation is exactly the same in Greek too. Well I'm talking about this word. It's more like a transfer than a translation. "Ακαδημία" (akadimía)= academy and "Αντιπάθεια" (antipáthia)= antipathy *In Greek language there isn't one letter for the sound "d" so we use 2 letters "nt". It goes the same with the sound "b" is "mp". * The majority of Greek words (nouns) end with -ia and in English transfer it with -y, like ανατομία (anatomía) is Anatomy.
Wait, what about Plato's academy? The word even existed before Plato to refer to that park/gymnasium, and it existed way after when the Neoplatonists (who refered to themselves as just Platonists) reopened it in the late Roman empire.
Shakespeare did not invent/coin the word Academy, where did you even get this info from? Just to name one example, the Académie des jeux floreux in Toulouse was founded in 1323, so over 200 hundred years before Shakespeare was born. Another example is the Academia Pontaniana in Naples, founded in the 15th century.
@@RubyGranger8 thank you for the clarification, though I still don´t see how the word academe and academy can be seen as different from one another? They mean the same thing, it´s just a different way of spelling them and since back in Shakespeare´s time standard spelling was not yet the norm I struggle with seeing the word academe as an example of a word that has been coined by Shakespeare, maybe this way of spelling has, but not the word as a whole.
@@vt1527 Many words have Greek and Latin origins, but the way they are pronounced and spelled were created by many people. Yes, academe has Greek origins, while Shakespeare created to word academe These two things can be true at the same time
How do we know that he invented some of these words rather than just repeating slang / colloquial terms that were used by local (youth) and hadn’t been recorded anywhere else?
Hi Ruby, I love your content! This is such an interesting and informative short but allow me to make a correction. Antipathy comes from the Greek word 'αντιπάθεια' which is the opposite of 'συμπάθεια' or 'sympathy' in English. 'Αντιπάθεια' already existed from ancient Greece ('αντι-' is a very common preposition' in ancient and modern Greek language that denotes opposition). Hope this was enlightening!
I think you would really enjoy learning ancient or modern Greek. Academe, (academy, academia, academic etc.) and antipathy are both ancient Greek words that are still used to the present day with the same, unaltered meaning!

There's actually been quite a bit of research on this. The reason people _think_ Shakespeare invented so many words is because when the OED was compiled in the C19th Shakespeare was the best known early modern reference. It has subsequently emerged with C20th scholarship that most of the words he used were already well in use, what Shakespeare did was give a citable source for the Victorian etymologist who couldn't cite non-archived manuscript sources, even if they had been aware of them
I am also having problems with this idea of my beloved Will's making up all these words. How do they know that he actually came up with the word as opposed to this just being the first written instance that was found (locus classicus)?
Loved this vid! Actually we use everyday the word "Antipathy" in Greece (It's pronounced as "Antipathia" in modern Greek) to express our dislike for things or people :)
He definitely existed….I’ve been to the house where he was born and his grave. The question is whether he single-handedly wrote all the works attributed to him. I believe he did!

Not trying to get at you Ruby - I am a fan - genuinely curious about if you know the answer to that question
The works of WS are the first extant use of certain words. He may or may not have originated the words. HTH. ❤
I swear a lot of these are incorrect, a lot of the words he supposedly invented appeared in texts years before he was even born.

How do you actually go about 'inventing' words. Surely anyone could make up words? (genuinely curious).
‘Weird’ is actually also a word invented by Shakespeare!!!!
Nope it's an ancient Anglo Saxon and Old Norse word.
QLindaaaa Ruby GrangerBaby I love you yes..............
Imagine the beautiful words that have not been created yet ❤
In past editions, all words used by Shakespeare could be found in the Shorter OED. ❤
I think this may be confusing first recorded use with "Invent".
Out of context, but that nsil polish is so cute
This is awesome! I didn't know. Thanks. Well done!
Accordi to this it seems that He invented also the words William and Shakespeare… ^__^
Fascinating stuff Ruby, thanks!

You’re cute

eyeballs is one of his words as well.

Agreed, but it must be accurate knowledge.

my only complaint is that the volume is too low
The information is also incorrect
