Etymology

The term 'storying' emerges from the root word 'story,' which has origins in Middle English, derived from the Old French 'estorie,' meaning 'history' or 'narrative.' The concept of telling stories has been integral to human communication across cultures for millennia, serving as a primary means of sharing knowledge, values, and traditions. As language evolved, so did the ways in which stories could be constructed and delivered, leading to the adoption of 'storying' as a verb specifically focused on the act of narrative creation. This evolution reflects the importance of storytelling in various settings, from personal experiences to educational frameworks, highlighting how storying is not only about recounting past events but also about creating meaning and fostering connections among individuals.
