⚔️ legión = Roman legion, ancestor of English legion; from Latin legere, to choose
Latin legio meant a levy of soldiers chosen (legere, to select) for war. Spanish legión keeps the sound almost unchanged, so think of English legion with a stress on the last syllable: le-GYON. Also used for any huge crowd: una legión de fans.
