Eureka
\Eu*re"ka\ [Gr. ? I have found, perfect indicative of ?
to find.]
The exclamation attributed to Archimedes, who is said to have
cried out
“Eureka! eureka!” (I have found it! I have found
it!), upon suddenly discovering a method of finding out how
much the gold of King Hiero's crown had been alloyed. Hence,
an expression of triumph concerning a discovery.
[1913 Webster]
