Penicillin ,Alexander fleming
No, the documentation is prolific, do your own research and stop expecting others to do it for you
Yes it both a brand name and a word. I e. I single, distinct element of speech used to identify a meaning
15 out of about 1700 words that Shakespeare coined.
"Chortle" by Charles Dodgson in 1871
"Embiggen" & "Cromulent" by one of The Simpsons writers in 1996.
"Nerd" by Theodore Geisel in 1950.

But if you read the source that you provided, you will note something interesting about each and every word: "the word was in use for several decades before Shakespeare used it." Note: not "in use forever," just "for several decades." That means that the word was NOT in use before those several decades, and therefore, unless God popped down and added it to the dictionaries of the day, SOMEBODY first used the word. And that in itself answers your question in the OP. We may not always know the name of the person who first used the word, but it is an absolute certainty that somebody did use it first.
So what if he made no claim? If he used a word, and nobody can find that it had ever been used before, then that makes it extremely likely that he was the first, does it not? Please?

Friend, a sound is a word, if no sound..words will not exist!
words are alive; word is physical..and their inner is sound..as same as human.How else are we to feel.
Your name..is held by a word..and the word was made from its sound..this is BY ORDER! the power of words is from sound.

Penicillin is a group of antibiotics, derived originally from common moulds of the same names, from which include penicillin G, penicillin V, procaine penicillin, and benzathine penicillin. Wikipedia
penicillin (n.)
1929, coined in English by Alexander Fleming (1881-1955), who first recognized its antibiotic properties, from Modern Latin Penicillium notatum (1867), the name of the mould from which it was first obtained, from Latin penicillus "paintbrush" (see pencil (n.)), in reference to the shape of the mould cells.

The word was already there since 1867, Alexander Fleming borrowed it from from Modern Latin. Thanks to Alexander Fleming who introduced/discovered this antibiotic medicine in service of humanity. Salutes to him, please.

Thank you,
I always assumed God "made Muhammad write verses, though he could not write nor read". Kind of Divine miracle. This I know is possible. Hence I could believe Koran to be true (90% maybe).
But now I read that others wrote it.
Credibility went down from 90% to 10%

"critic (n.)
formerly critick, 1580s, "one who passes judgment, person skilled in judging merit in some particular class of things," from Middle French critique (14c.), from Latin criticus "a judge, literary critic," from Greek kritikos "able to make judgments," from krinein "to separate, decide" (from PIE root *krei- "to sieve," thus "discriminate, distinguish"). The meaning "one who judges merits of books, plays, etc." is from c. 1600. The English word always has had overtones of "censurer, faultfinder, one who judges severely."
To understand how the artist felt, however, is not criticism; criticism is an investigation of what the work is good for. ... Criticism ... is a serious and public function; it shows the race assimilating the individual, dividing the immortal from the mortal part of a soul. [George Santayana, "The Life of Reason," 1906]A perfect judge will read each work of witWith the same spirit that its author writ;[Pope, "An Essay on Criticism," 1709]
For "inferior or incompetent critic" 17c. had criticaster; later generations used criticling, critikin, criticule."

Friend! The world already existed so Shakespeare could not claim. Right, please?
