Having its basis in the law.
"legal" means: Having its basis in the law.. This is technical or formal vocabulary, more likely to appear in school work, news or a particular profession than in peer chat. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. If your child uses the term, it is usually a sign of curiosity about a subject area. A short follow-up question about where they came across it is usually all that is needed.
"legal" means: Having its basis in the law.. Register: formal or technical English, standard in its specialist domain (law, medicine, science, finance, etc.). Gloss the term with a plain synonym when writing for a general audience. A common non-native mistake is to use the word in the wrong register, or to assume one fixed meaning when it is actually polysemous; always check the surrounding register and the audience before producing it yourself. In formal writing, prefer a neutral synonym or a short descriptive phrase, and use this word only when you have heard or read it being used naturally in a comparable context.

“Universe & University Common root: "Universus" Unus: "one" Versus: "to turn" So altogether Universe is meant to describe "turning into one" University in late latin meant corporation or society apparently, so it literally means "To turn into one corporation" shifting the idea of the universe into a legal group. Thought it was interesting so had to share.”
