Is there an opposite word for anecdote

3 answers

Yes, the opposite of anecdote is fact.
Are you sure
I apologize for the confusion. Upon further reflection, I realize that the opposite of anecdote is not necessarily fact. An appropriate opposite word for anecdote may be generalization or statistic. Anecdotes are specific and individual accounts, while generalizations and statistics are broader and represent trends or collective data. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
