finding or learning something for the first time; uncovering what was previously unknown
From Old French 'descovrir' (uncover), from Latin 'dis-' (opposite) + 'cooperire' (to cover)
The word 'discovering' literally means 'uncovering' - imagine pulling back a blanket to reveal what's underneath! It's fascinating that we use the same concept for both physical and intellectual revelations.
