Did shakespeare use the word umbrella?
Yes, Shakespeare did use the word "umbrella." The word appears in three of his plays: The Taming of the Shrew, Love's Labour's Lost, and The Merry Wives of Windsor. In each case, the word is used in its modern sense to refer to a device used for protection from rain. For example, in The Taming of the Shrew, Petruchio says to Katherine: "Come, come, you wasp; i' faith, you are too angry. / Put up your amber, love; dissemble with him." Here, Petruchio is telling Katherine to put away her umbrella because it is no longer raining.
