Meanwhile, the word that directly opposes discovering is that of hide, which refers to keeping quiet about what is known or preventing someone from knowing or seeing an issue.
It should be noted that the word in question is also closely linked to another concept in widespread use in our language, such is the case of discovery.
A discovery implies the original observation of a reality or event, which until that moment remained hidden or was simply unknown.
In history and science, the words discovery and discover have a recurring and very special use, since they are used to mention new events, the achievement of some remarkable theory, among others.
Scientific and historical discoveries that changed human history
In the specific case of science, we will speak of discovery when, for example, a scientist or a medical professional, among others, reaches a remarkable and new finding about the cure or treatment of a serious disease that did not exist until that moment.
This type of discoveries, of course, which mark a milestone, a before and after in the history of science and the specialty in question, but also have immeasurable value for humanity because, as we know, the fact of finding the cure or an effective treatment against a disease, without a doubt, implies a benefit for the common good.
Many diseases that centuries ago inevitably caused the death of the sick, today, they no longer cause it because there were scientists or doctors who dedicated their lives to researching it and were able to find the cure or treatment with a vaccine along that path.
All these discoveries have been immortalized in the history of humanity and science.
And on the other hand, in history, we cannot ignore the coverage that has existed in geographical matters and that at the time also meant a milestone, such is the emblematic case of the discovery of a new continent that was ignored existed, America, for part of the Spanish navigator and expeditionary Christopher Columbus.
Columbus set sail from Spain in the 15th century with the permission and funding of the Catholic Monarchs with the mission of finding a route to the East that would allow better horizons for the trade in species, however, and against all odds he arrived at a new continent that would change forever its history, that of Spain and that of the natives of the American lands.
But beyond that coincidence of discovery, this event passed to posterity, and as we said, it marked a before and after for the new and the old continent.
It should be noted that many discoveries in the history of science have come by chance, because something else was being investigated and a magnificent discovery was reached.
