Etymology

Pseudo-Hispanism, derived from English legacy influenced by Spanish -ía, from Middle English legacie, from Old French legacie and Medieval Latin lēgātia. The correct Spanish equivalent for “legacy” is Spanish legado (“legacy”). Although the word Spanish legacía does exist in Spanish, it means “legateship”, not “legacy”.
