legionary
- n a soldier who is a member of a legion (especially the French Foreign Legion)
- As a legionary, Veterans' Administrator Hines, addressing the convention, tried to make it see error in its ways.
- At first, each Roman legionary received a daily allowance of salt; later this was paid in "money to buy salt" (salarium), from which the modern word "salary" is derived.
- Clenched like a fist around his grief at the loss of his daughter, he soldiers on, like a Roman legionary with a death wish the size of a Volkswagen on his shoulder.
