==Etymology==
==Etymology==
The Greek word '''ἱστορία''', ''istoría'', means "knowledge acquired by investigation, inquiry". In this sense it is used in antique expression "natural history".
In English the word went into two different directions: "story", or chronologically-structured narrative, and "history", or discourse on human events.
