Eureka (word)
"Eureka" comes from the Ancient Greek word "heúrēka", meaning "I found (it)", which is the first person singular perfect indicative active of the verb "heuriskō" "I find". It is closely related to heuristic, which refers to experience-based techniques for problem solving, learning, and discovery.
Language and the euro
The masculine noun "eoró" (plural "eorónna" ) has been coined from the word "Eoraip" ('Europe'). Linguist Michael Everson has suggested "eora" (plural "eoraí") as a more grammatically acceptable Irish term, and wrote "The European Council has no right to prescribe, or even to endorse, the orthographical or grammatical forms of "any" word in any language, whether official or not. This right belongs to the people of Europe."
