Storey
A 'Storey' is a level of a building. "Storey" derives from the ancient Greek word "historia" which means "account of events". In the 1300s, the word "story"was used in architecture in the sense that stone carvings, stained glass windows or sculptures on the outside of a building had real stories as their theme. The more rows of pictures, the more stories. And so, the higher the window or the building, the more stories it could have - and so this evolved in time to mean an entire level of a building was known as a storey.
