伝え first definition

wondering why in the world this word comes back as "legend; tradition" as the first definition when it is far more commonly referred to as to "convey" ?? https://jisho.org/search/%E4%BC%9D%E3%81%88

well '伝え' is the best direct fit for '伝え'...
in your example 'to convey' is a verb and '伝え' is a noun
if you want 'to convey' to show up first try searching for the verb '伝える' instead of '伝え'
