A legion was a large group of soldiers in the ancient Roman army, thousands of men together. Today, people still use 'legion' to talk about a large, organized group, especially soldiers or fans, like 'a legion of fans'. There's also a phrase using it like an adjective, meaning 'very many' - like 'his mistakes are legion,' meaning he made a huge number of mistakes.
軍團；大批、眾多
組成Comes from the Latin word 'legio', the name for one unit of the Roman army.
