'istori`a history, information, inquiry, fr. 'istwr, "istwr,
knowing, learned, from the root of ? to know; akin to E. wit.
See Wit, and cf. Story.]
[1913 Webster]
1. A learning or knowing by inquiry; the knowledge of facts
and events, so obtained; hence, a formal statement of such
information; a narrative; a description; a written record;
as, the history of a patient's case; the history of a
legislative bill.
[1913 Webster]
2. A systematic, written account of events, particularly of
those affecting a nation, institution, science, or art,
and usually connected with a philosophical explanation of
their causes; a true story, as distinguished from a
romance; -- distinguished also from annals, which relate
simply the facts and events of each year, in strict
chronological order; from biography, which is the record
of an individual's life; and from memoir, which is history
composed from personal experience, observation, and
memory.
[1913 Webster]
Histories are as perfect as the historian is wise,
and is gifted with an eye and a soul. --Carlyle.

Syn: Chronicle; annals; relation; narration.
Usage: History, Chronicle, Annals. History is a
methodical record of important events which concern a
community of men, usually so arranged as to show the
connection of causes and effects, to give an analysis

such events, conforming to the order of time as its
distinctive feature. Annals are a chronicle divided up
into separate years. By poetic license annals is
sometimes used for history.

2. A record of previous user inputs (e.g. to a
command interpreter) which can be re-entered without re-typing
them. The major improvement of the C shell (csh) over the
Bourne shell (sh) was the addition of a command history. This
was still inferior to the history mechanism on VMS which allowed
you to recall previous commands as the current input line. You
could then edit the command using cursor motion, insert and
delete. These sort of history editing facilities are available
under tcsh and GNU Emacs.
3. The history of the world was once discussed in Usenet
newsgroups <news:soc.history> and <news:alt.history>.
