Do words come into being in any other way?

Yeah...Al Gore.
He invented “internet”.
Lol.
Thanks for one's input.

Further, it is a shortened term, sort of abbreviated form of two words inter +network .

internet (n.)
1984, "the linked computer networks of the U.S. Defense Department," shortened from internetwork, inter-network, which was used from 1972 in reference to (then-hypothetical) networks involving many separate computers. From inter- "between" + network (n.). Associated Press style guide decapitalized it from 2016.

No, I don’t think so. I was just joking (I’m in a crazy mood, right now; no alcohol, either)!

I think Al Gore once claimed to have invented the Internet, or something.

I visualize that it is a natural process involving many factors that word/s of a natural language/s or ordinary language/s are made/created and similarly the word/s die out. It is for this that to my knowledge, nobody claims/ed to have created a word.

bandit (n.)
"lawless robber, brigand" (especially as part of an organized band), 1590s, from Italian bandito (plural banditi) "outlaw," past participle of bandire "proscribe, banish," from Vulgar Latin *bannire "to proclaim, proscribe," from Proto-Germanic *bannan "to speak publicly" (used in reference to various sorts of proclamations), "command; summon; outlaw, forbid" (see ban (v.)).

Vulgar Latin *bannire (or its Frankish cognate *bannjan) in Old French became banir, which, with lengthened stem, became English banish.

The word "bandit" already existed, not created by Shakespeare, hence he never claimed to have created it. Right, please?

I see no point in responding to you.
I've asked you a couple of times why you're asking this strange and unimportant question and you've completely ignored me.
Right?
