Achievement sounding like legends (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

feat

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'achievement' is the definition.
(I know that feat is a type of achievement)

'sounding like legends' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'sounding' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'fat' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for feat that I've seen before include "Remarkable achievement of fate" , "Exploit; achievement" , "Great deed" , "Courageous act" , "Deed; achievement" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
