From Middle English story, via Medieval Latin historia (“narrative, illustraton, frieze”) from Ancient Greek ἱστορίᾱ (historíā, “learning through research”). The current sense arose from narrative friezes on upper levels of medieval buildings, esp. churches.
An alternative etymology derives Middle English story from Old French *estoree (“a thing built, building”), from estoree (“built”), feminine past participle of estorer (“to build”), from Latin instaurare (“to construct, build, erect”), but this seems unlikely since historia already had the meaning "storey of a building" in Anglo-Latin.
storey (plural storeys or (obsolete) stories)
The terms floor, level, or deck are used in a similar way, except that it is usual to talk of a “14-storey building”, but “the 14th floor”. The floor at ground or street level is called the ground floor in many places. In some of those places, the floor immediately above (e.g., the upper floor of a two-storey building) is called “the first floor”. In other places, the floor just above ground floor is called “the second floor”, and “first floor” is a synonym for “ground floor”.
The words storey and floor exclude levels of the building that are not covered by a roof, such as the terrace on the top roof of many buildings. They also often exclude basements and most attics.
