legroom

English

Etymology

leg +‎ room

Noun

legroom (uncountable)

1. Space to stretch the legs while seated.

   The lack of legroom on international flights can be a health hazard as blood clots can form from not being able to move around.

   • 2019 October, “South Wales open access bid”, in Modern Railways, page 15:

     Highlighted benefits include high quality seating, more legroom, more luggage space and a fixed buffet with kitchen providing a range of catering.

2. Space to move in. (Can we add an example for this sense?)
