Much of the vocabulary of Old English has been lost, and the development of new words to meet new conditions is one of the most familiar phenomena of our language. Change of the meaning can be seen from any page of Shakespeare. Nice in Shakespeare’s day meant foolish; rheumatism (风湿病) meant a cold in the head. Another change is pronunciation.
