Etymology

edit

Name of a company founded in 1934, shortened from Danish leg godt (literally “play well”).[1] Coincidentally, the word also means “I put together” in Latin (see legō).

Pronunciation

Noun

edit

Lego (usually uncountable, plural (US, sometimes proscribed) Legos)

  1. Any of several small, coloured, plastic bricks, often made by the Lego Company, that can be made to join together and be taken apart, used to construct toy buildings, vehicles, etc.

Usage notes

edit

The plural form Legos is chiefly American. Other regions tend to use Lego as a mass noun, and refer to Lego bricks and Lego sets. Its use as a noun is proscribed by the company LEGO itself, as it believes it should always be used as an adjective; however, the use of it as a noun is seen widely.
