//əˈnɛkdətəm// noun

Definitions

Noun
  1. 1
    Alternative spelling of anecdote. Latinate, alt-of, alternative, rare

    "Ang. Mai published it anew by mistake as an anecdotum, under the title, Philonis Judæi de virtute ejusque partibus."

Etymology

Back-formation from anecdota, reinterpreting the nominative neuter plural case ending -a as a Latin case ending (singular: -um), rather than (as is etymologically-consistent) as an Ancient Greek case ending (singular: -on, from -ον (-on)); perhaps reinforced by Latin anecdotum.
