"let" is a special operator which creates new variable bindings. The
syntax is like this:
(let list-of-variable-bindings
code-forms)
And each bindings is in the form of (variable value):
(let ((variable1 value1)
(variable2 value2)
(variable3 value3)
;; ...
(variable-n value-n))
;; Code that may use those variable bindings.
)
So logically if there is only one variable binding it looks like this:
(let ((variable value))
;; code
)
Here's a link to Common Lisp specification about LET and LET* special
operator. Emacs Lisp is different Lisp dialect but it's often quite
close to Common Lisp.
