Origin: A borrowing from Latin; originally partly modelled on a French lexical tem, and partly modelled on a German lexical item. Etymon: Latin heuristicus.

Etymology: Ultimately < post-classical Latin heuristicus (1728 or earlier), irregularly < the stem of ancient Greek εὑρίσκειν to find (see Eureka int.) + post-classical Latin -isticus -istic suffix. As noun originally after French †héuristique (1768 in the passage translated in quot. 1770 at sense A. 1; now heuristique ); compare German Heuristik (1750 or earlier). As adjective originally (in sense B. 1a) after German heuristisch (1743 or earlier). Compare earlier heuretic adj.

A. n.

1. = heuretic n. Now rare.

1898 H. E. Armstrong in Spec. Rep. Educ. II. 390 in Parl. Papers 1898 (C. 8943) XXIV. 1 Heuristic methods of teaching are methods which involve our placing students as far as possible in the attitude of the discoverer—methods which involve their finding out, instead of merely being told about things.
