Lego
Interlocking plastic bricks
Lego is the Danish toy company known for its colorful interlocking plastic bricks, and by extension the bricks themselves.
The name comes from Danish "leg godt" meaning "play well." Lego is technically a trademark, so the company prefers "Lego bricks" over "Legos," though few people observe this distinction: She built an elaborate castle out of Lego. (Lowercase lego appears in casual usage.)
