Even among the ancient Greeks, there were two kinds of stories: those given out publicly and those only known privately.

The latter kind was called anekdotos "not published". The word was formed by combining a, an, "not", and ekdotos, "given out". From this source comes French anecdote and thence English anecdote which originally retained the Greek significance of "unpublished narratives".

An "unpublished narrative", especially about interesting things and famous people, has a ready market; so anecdotes are eagerly brought out on every occasion, and the word lost its original sense, coming to mean simply "a story, an incident".
