    It didn't stick, but Shakespeare used "word" as a verb in Antony and Cleopatra:
    "He words me girls."

    I think the biggest one is the "un-" prefix. Shakespeare was the one who started adding it to words to mean their opposite.

    If (if) these words were first attested in works by Shakespeare, that doesn't necessarily mean that they weren't in use before he used them.

    I believe that anybody who likes to write has invented a word by its own in a certain moment. At least just for the fun. Of course, it's ten million times more infuential if it comes from Shakespeare.

    Probably not a word, but Shakespeare is the reason why the name "Jessica" exists. It wasn't a girls' name until he started using it in his plays.
