逸事 is literary; the everyday word for 'anecdote' is 趣事 (qùshì) or 故事 (gùshi). 逸事 specifically suggests stories that escaped (逸) the official record — gossipy, colorful tales orbit the formal biography of a figure.
memory
逸 'escaped / hidden' + 事 'matter' — 'escaped matters,' i.e. stories that slipped past the official histories. Same 逸 as in 隐逸 (reclusive).
