There is a ratio of words used in the English language that goes something like this: In Shakespeare's time there were approximately 25,000 words used + whatever Shakespeare and his company cohorts made up to finish the iambic beats of a sentance, or to add to the poetry of feeling of a character.
In modern times there are maybe 500 words used. We have lost many words over the centuries. This glossery allows the actor and reader of Shakespeare to discover the deeper meanings in Shakespeare's plays. Just when you think you know what it means, you look up a word and the meaning not only changes, but becomes clearer and makes perfect sense.
