What does LEGION mean in Scrabble?
noun
A large body of soldiers, especially a major unit of the ancient Roman army, or by extension a very large number of people or things.
A Roman legion typically numbered several thousand foot soldiers along with a smaller body of cavalry, and it formed the basic building block of Rome's military power for centuries. The word later broadened to name other large military or veteran organizations, such as the American Legion, and it is also used loosely to describe an enormous, almost countless number, as in his admirers are legion. This figurative sense keeps the original weight of the word even when no soldiers are involved at all.
