legacy

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

'gift' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'bit indecent not right' is the wordplay.
'bit' becomes 'leg' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'indecent' becomes 'racy' (I've seen this in other clues).
'not' is a deletion indicator.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'racy' with 'r' taken away is 'acy'.
'leg'+'acy'='LEGACY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for legacy that I've seen before include "Something handed down" , "That which is handed down by a predecessor" , "It's passed on" , "One inherited" , "Bombay since 1995" .)
