WORD DAILY Word of the Day: * Heuristic *
by Paul Sun 19 May 2024, 6:28 am
Heuristic
hyo͝oˈristik
“The pottery professor’s heuristic techniques helped students discover their individual sculpting style.”
“Following this heuristic will help you complete the assignment.”
“I recommended some heuristic classes to help Pedro develop his creativity.”
Greek, late 18th century
“Heuristic” developed from the Greek word “heuriskein,” which means “find.” When used as an adjective, it describes a method of discovery — a heuristic process allows a person to learn something for themselves. A self-taught artist, for example, is someone who has developed skills in a heuristic manner through experimenting with different materials and styles. In everyday life, we might engage in a heuristic way of learning if we look for another route to avoid traffic without knowing the way. The word can also be used as a noun to refer to a specific piece of information used to guide the decision-making process. For example, one heuristic for judging whether to purchase an item could be how many times you expect to use it.
