What is discover?

Answer 1

To discover is a verb meaning to find something, and usually the first to discover it. A discoverer is a noun, meaning someone who discovers something. However, learners can discover knowledge new to them--even though someone else discovered that knowledge originally. For example, Newton discovered gravity-- in class experiments, a student today 'discovers' the truth of Newton's original discovery but the student is not the original discoverer.

There is a huge difference between a discoverer and an inventor. A discoverer finds or explains a principle that already existed, but needed discovered. An inventor creates something that did not exist before, or a new version of something previously invented. As an example, several men were working on inventing the telephone-- Bell just got to the patent office first.
