It means "found." It was at that moment that Archimedes found a solution for a problem that had not given him peace for a long time.
It was a moment of sudden discovery. "The Effect of Eureka." A moment of deep understanding. Epiphany, which is translated from the Greek means "the manifestation of the divine." At this moment, for a previously unsolvable problem, a simple and obvious solution suddenly appears.
