/ˈlĩ.du/

Uncertain. Probably ultimately from Latin legitimus (“lawful; proper”), and likely through the intermediate of Spanish lindo (the native Portuguese descendant (and thus its doublet) in this case is lídimo; there is also the later learned borrowing legítimo). Some sources cite Latin limpidus (“clean”), but this is unlikely for several reasons, including that this word already gave rise to another word in Portuguese, limpo.
