Every dictionary I've ever looked this word up in just says that it is a plant such as a pea or this or that. This is not a definition it is an example.
Every other dictionary makes use of a circular definition: a plant that produces a leguminous seed. I was told by an authority (and authorities are never supposed to be wrong, right?) that definitions are never supposed to use the word (or root word) that is being defined IN the definition.
So WHAT is a legume??
