What does the word legible mean?

"Legible" means capable of being read. It describes something that is clear and easy to decipher, whether it's handwriting, print, or even a digital display.

Here are some examples:

* "The doctor's handwriting was barely legible." This means the handwriting was difficult to read.

* "The sign was large and legible from a distance." This means the sign was easy to read, even from far away.

* "The screen resolution is high enough for the text to be legible." This means the text on the screen is clear and easy to read.

The opposite of legible is illegible.
