He learnt Latin in school.
  This meant, that he could derive English words out of the Latin root, for inclusion in the plays.
  He became so adept at this skill, that the rhetoric flowed seemingly without any break in the syntax whatsoever.
  Here are just a few;
  advertising.
  Circumstantial.
  Drug.
  Epileptic. (tell me when you see a 'modern' word!)
  fashionable.
  Investment.
  Misquote.
  Premeditated.
  Traditional.
  Zany!
    All 'invented' over 400 years ago.

He really didn't invent any words. He just introduced it to us.
For example: Bubbles, zany, gossip, and skim milk.
