Legacy

Legacy refers to something that is handed down or passed on from one generation to another, typically in the context of cultural, social, historical, or familial inheritance. It can encompass values, traditions, property, or even personal attributes that are left for others to inherit. In broader terms, legacy can also pertain to the enduring impact or contribution of an individual, organization, or event that influences future generations. It often carries a sense of responsibility or obligation to maintain and honor what has been bequeathed, shaping identity and continuity in various contexts.
