What does LEGIT mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Genuine, legitimate, or honest, rather than fake or dishonest.
Legit is a shortened, informal version of legitimate, and it spread from everyday speech into slang about anything that seems trustworthy, real, or above board. People use legit to question or confirm the honesty of a person, a business, a document, or even an experience, especially when something initially looks suspicious. The word carries a slightly casual, spoken tone, so formal writing almost always prefers the full form legitimate instead. Legit can also work as an intensifier in very informal speech, roughly meaning genuinely, as in a claim that something is legit amazing.
