THEME THURSDAY: WORDS FROM SHAKESPEARE (BELONGINGS): meaning and examples
This month for Theme Thursday, we are looking at words coined by Shakespeare. Today we are looking at the word BELONGINGS.
Definition: your possessions; the things that belong to you.
Example 1: She packed all of her belongings in the car and she moved to California.
Example 2: They lost all of their belongings in the fire.
Shakespeare used this word in the play "Measure for Measure." The line is:
"Thyself and thy belongings are not thine own..."
(This means "you and your possessions are not yours.")
