Shakespeare, who [may not have coined all the words he's credited with](https://www.pri.org/stories/2013-08-19/did-william-shakespeare-really-invent-all-those-words), but who certainly popularized a lot of neologisms, tended to recapitulate or paraphrase a possibly unfamiliar word in the same sentence. > Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood / Clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather / The multitudinous seas **incarnadine** , / _Making the green one red._ _Macbeth, Act II, Scene 2._ I try to use the same technique myself --even in conversation --, and have found it effective. The chief challenge is to not make it too clunky or redundant.
