What does LEGEND mean in Scrabble?
noun
A traditional story from the past, often about a real person or event, that is popularly believed but cannot be proven true.
A legend sits between history and myth, built around a person, place or event that may well have existed, but whose story has been reshaped and exaggerated by generations of retelling until fact and invention can no longer be separated. The word also names the key printed beside a map or chart that explains what its symbols and colours mean, a very different but related sense, since both uses ultimately come from a Latin word meaning things to be read. Informally, people now also call a famous or admired person a legend, praising their reputation as though it had already passed into folklore.
How LEGEND is used
Common in everyday speech for old or exaggerated stories, and equally common for the explanatory key on a map or chart.
