Part of Speech: Verb

Explanation: This word is the perfect active infinitive form of the verb 'ΕΥΡΙΣΚΩ' (euriskō), meaning 'to find' or 'to discover'. As an infinitive, it functions like a verbal noun, often used after verbs of knowing, saying, or perceiving, or to express purpose or result. The perfect tense indicates a completed action with ongoing results, so 'to have found' or 'to have discovered' is often the most accurate translation.
