memorate

noun

1. an oral narrative from memory relating a personal experience, especially the precursor of a legend.

   An undemonstrable legend is no legend at all. One must postulate that every fabulate is based on a memorate.

Where it comes from

From Latin memorātus, past participle of memorāre (“to bring to remembrance, mention, recount”), from memor (“remembering”); see memory.
