Definition:
Lore gathers the wisdom, warnings, and wonders carried from one generation to the next. It often blends memory with imagination, creating tales that grow richer with each retelling. The word encompasses both factual history and the embellishments that make stories endure. Lore describes the shared language of a culture—its myths, customs, beliefs, and explanations for the unknown. It is knowledge preserved not by books alone, but by voices.
