The term “break a leg” may be traced back to the Elizabethan lan

The term “break a leg” may be traced back to the Elizabethan language. To “break a leg”, in Shakespeare's time, meant, literally, to bow- by bending at the knee. Since a successful actor would “break a leg” onstage and receive applause, the phrase would, in effect, be a wish for good luck.
