What did SANS mean in sheakspeares time?

"SANS" in Shakespeare's time meant "without". It is a French word that was borrowed into English and used commonly in the 16th and 17th centuries.

Here are some examples of how Shakespeare used "sans" in his works:

* "Without": "Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything." (King Lear, Act IV, Scene I)

* "Lacking": "His heart is frail and weak, sans courage." (Hamlet, Act III, Scene II)

* "Without the aid of": "Sans fear, he charged into battle." (Henry V, Act IV, Scene II)

While "sans" is still used in modern English, it is considered somewhat archaic and is primarily used for literary effect or in formal contexts. In everyday conversation, we generally use "without" instead.
