Shakespeare Words

Shakespearean, not stirred.

If Shakespeare wrote it, we've Shmooped it.

Noiseless

Invented in All's Well That Ends Well

The inaudible and noiseless foot of Time

The word noise comes from an Old French word meaning "a disturbance," but there was no disturbance about when ol' Shakey slapped a less after the original word.

P.S. You can thank him later for dropping this one with a synonym right next to it.
