story, n.2, storey. Pl. stories, storeys. Forms: 5 storye, 6 storie, (storrie, store), 7_ storey, ? 4, 5_ story.
[First in AL. form historia; hence prob. the same word as story n.1, though the development of sense is obscure. Possibly historia as an architectural term may originally have denoted a tier of painted windows or of sculptures on the front of a building: see story n.1 8, and cf. the Latin quot. 1398 below and sense 2. The current view that the word is a. OF. *estoree (f. estorer to build, furnish: see store v.) is untenable on account of the AL. form historia (from 12th c.).The following are examples of the Anglo-Latin use of historia in the architectural sense:---_1200 Hugo Candidus C_nob.

1. Each of the stages or portions one above the other of which a building consists; a room or set of rooms on one floor or level.
In this use synonymous with floor n. 5; but while in England the term first-floor is applied to the floor above the ground-floor, the numbering of _stories' (so named) usually begins with the ground floor, so that the _first-floor' is identical with the _second story,' and _a house of one story' has a ground-floor only. A different usage is shown in quot. 1850, and appears to be not wholly obsolete. Quot. _ 1400, though the reading is app. the scribe's conjectural emendation of an obscure passage, may perh. be taken as attesting the existence of the n. at the date of the MS.; the passage was prob. supposed to refer to the addition of _stories' or upper stages to towers.
