Arch-villain and cheap are both coined by Shakespeare?

Shakespeare is credited with the first use of the word "Arch-villain" in his play Measure For Measure, but he did not invent "cheap". The noun sense of "cheap" (a cheap was a market or a bargain) goes back to Old English. The adjective form was just coming into use in the Elizabethan era: Shakespeare is credited with the first use of the word in some senses, but other similar uses were first recorded by other people including the playwright Thomas Dekker, some of them when Shakespeare was a schoolboy in Stratford. Shakespeare can hardly be credited with coining the word "cheap"

Did Shakespeare invent word?

Yes, he is credited with creating 1700 new words. A lot of these were using a word as a new part of speech. For example, the word "assassin" existed, but Shakespeare invented "assassination"Just think, the average English speaker knows 4000 words altogether. The number of words Shakespeare invented is over 40% of that number.Yet fact does not always support the legend. Shakespeare was a great writer of English. Perhaps he was even the greatest. This makes Shakespeare an easy target for misinformation.
