Legit is defined as anything that is able to withstand extensive scrutiny into whether or not it conforms to the accepted standards and principals of what is...

The word legitimacy comes from the Latin word legitimare and it has two uses:

• Legitimacy (political science) is variously defined, but refers in general to the peoples' acceptance of a law, ruling, or a regime itself as valid. This concept has also been applied to other kinds of authority, such as that of an employer hiring workers. The Marxian tradition discusses issues concerning the legitimacy of entire political-economic systems (such as capitalism).

• In the common law tradition, legitimacy (law) describes the status of children who are born to parents who are legally married (cf. bastardy).
