| William Shakespeare, the donator of words to English |
In every language vocabulary, coupled with other rules of grammar,
plays major role in producing an effective piece of writing. Apart from that,
using different –yet appropriate – words make a person a brilliant and
persuasive speaker. The more a person is good in playing with the words is the
more in convincing people to his contentions. The same principle applies to
English language as well. We very often, while speaking or writing words, do
not realize who and how the very word came into existence. As a matter of fact,
words and languages came into existence after an evolution process. Many men ofletter make their contribution in enriching any language with a waste treasure
of words. Among these great people, William Shakespeare has invented more than
100 words in English language and many of these words are the most common in
usage. In the following we have selected these 15 words for which Shakespeare
is credited with invention and which are the most common in use, if not indispensable
for the language. Have a look at these words and pay gratitude to Shakespeare
for these –and many more – words. You will, then, realize that Shakespeare did not only contributed English literature with his magnificent dramas but he also contributed significantly to the treasure of vocabulary.
8- Impartial

A scale with equilibrium represents impartiality
|
Saying the word ‘impartial’ just consumes a small fraction of a second but being impartial is as tough as holding a heavy load for one’s entire life. For a normal man is always influenced by his customs, family, culture, environment and his inclinations towards certain ideologies. The judge, in a litigation put before him, is supposed to be impartial but in many cases judges are partial. An honest researcher is deemed to be impartial but in reality he is far away from impartiality. A true journalist has to be impartial while filing his stories and compiling his reports but in realities –for too many reasons – his impartiality is driven away. Meaning literally “treating all rivals and disputants equally”, the word ‘impartial’ does hardly exists in reality. Adding the prefix ‘im’ to the word ‘partial’, William Shakespeare has invented the word ‘impartial’ in the part II of his historical play “Henry V”. He once quotes the Lord Chief Justice to say;
“Sweet princes, what I did, I did in honour, led by the impartial conduct of my soul: and never shall you see that I will beg a ragged and forestall'd remission”.
And also Shakespeare quotes King Henry V to say;
“The unstained sword that you have used to bear; with this remembrance, that you use the same with the like bold, just and impartial spirit as you have done 'gainst me. There is my hand.
