Answer:

The definition is about William Shakespeare.

Step-by-step explanation:

Born in 1564, William Shakespeare is still considered by many to be the greatest writer of the English language. Besides being called "national poet", he is also called the Bard of Avon. Over 1,700 words are said to have first been used by him in his work. Shakespeare would often invent or modify words from other languages, such as Italian, to be used in English. Some of his famous works are "Romeo and Juliet", "Julius Caesar", and "Othello". Shakespeare died in 1616.
