Story from Dante Eco adapted (8)
I believe the answer is:
anecdote
'story' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'dante eco adapted' is the wordplay.
'adapted' indicates an anagram.
'dante'+'eco'='danteeco'
'danteeco' with letters rearranged gives 'ANECDOTE'.
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for anecdote that I've seen before include "Reminiscence, story" , "One acted over interesting story" , "Brief tale" , "Account regarded as unreliable" , "Yarn" .)
