Gabrielle · Answer 1

Eyeball, belongings, and arch-villain.

Explanation:

As we know, William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616) was a British poet, actor, and playwright, probably the most famous all over the world to this day. Not only was Shakespeare considered a genius for his creativity when it came to stories, he was also a magnificent inventor of words.

Sources say he coined over 1700 words which are a part of the English language. People in general use them having no idea that, if it weren't for Shakespeare, they might have never existed. Some words he did invent completely; others came as a loan from foreign languages; others were the combination of affixes and different words; others even were nouns transformed into verbs and so on. Three examples of words coined by Shakespeare are: eyeball, belongings, and arch-villain.
