The English base word is legal, according to the law. Il is not, thus, illegal is not according to the law. The Latin base word is lex, meaning law.
[Origin: 1490–1500; < L légālis of the law, equiv. to lég- (s. of léx) law + -ālis -al1] If this or any other answer to your question helps you resolve this issue, please select a "best answer." This motivates people to help you and rewards their research in your behalf. Cheers, Bruce
