American Oxford Thesaurus

storied

storied adjective the quarterback's storied career: legendary, fabled, celebrated, of repute. WORD NOTE storied The first time I saw this word in a major newspaper used, as I recall, to describe a street which had a particularly colorful history, one on which many notable events had transpired —I thought it was a typo. I have since seen it used more often to refer to a place or thing to which all sorts of stories and legends are attached. So I have learned that it is indeed a word, but I still don't happen to like it. Perhaps that's because it somehow seems like a participle, which would make story a verb along the lines of journal, as in to journal, which is, in my opinion, one of the most repellent current usages.FP Conversational, opinionated, and idiomatic, these Word Notes are an opportunity to see a working writer's perspective on a particular word or usage.
