It's not really a word but rather a contraction like "it's" which means exactly the same thing. It is was often shortened to 'tis in Shakespeare's plays. He meant "it is". It depends on the sentence but it could mean 'this'. Abhor mean to regard with disgust or hatred. It meant the same thing to Shakespeare, who was of course writing in the same language.
Sorry, Shakespeare did not use that word. Shakespeare never used such a word. Such word would be "Upfill" meaning "fill up". Shakespeare sometimes used 'tis in place of "it is". But Hamlet also says "it is" twice. The expression should be spelled 'twere. The apostrophe stands for the letter "i" in the word "it", so the expression is "it were". An example of the unabbreviated form is Hamlet's line "I could accuse me of such things that it were better that my mother had not borne me.
Shakespeare does not use the word townsfolk. William Shakespeare sometimes uses the word gi in his plays. This word has the same meaning as the word give. Shakespeare wrote in English. Waxen means made of wax. Its meaning has not changed since Shakespeare used it. Oft is not a shortened word. Often is a lengthened word. The original word is oft and the form often did not appear until about a century before Shakespeare's day. They are, of course, the same word and mean the same thing.
The word is "super-cali-fragi-listic-ex-piali-docious" uttered by Julie Andrews as "Mary Poppins" in the musical-movie by the same name.
