Sets and legends

Question

Ok, I know how fieldset/ works legendin HTML. Let's say you have a form with several fields:

<form>
    <fieldset>
        <legend>legend</legend>
        <input name="input1" />
    </fieldset>
</form>

What should I use for legend? It appears as title , but is the legend semantically an explanation of the content? In my opinion, it is advisable that you do something like this:

<form>
    <fieldset>
        <legend>* = required</legend>
        <label for="input1">input 1 *</label><input id="input1" name="input1" />
    </fieldset>
</form>

But this does not work with field visualization. Is this just an ambiguous name in HTML, or is it my misunderstanding of the English word "legend"?
