Etymology
Legacy comes from an old Latin word legare meaning 'to send' or 'to leave to someone in a will'. A helpful way to remember a digital legacy is to think of your online accounts and files as things you 'leave' or 'send' to others after you die, like a modern form of the same gift left in a will.
