legs

Chair's four pillars

Legs are the limbs used for standing and walking—in humans, the lower limbs from hip to foot.

The word extends to supports that hold things up: table legs, chair legs, tripod legs.

A leg of a journey is one segment of a longer trip.

In sports, the first leg of a tournament is an early round.

If something has legs, it has staying power or momentum: That idea has legs.

To stretch your legs is to walk after sitting.
