It is from the Greek word Hureka used by Archimedis for 'I found it'.

Eureka \Eu*re"ka\ [Gr. ? I have found, perfect indicative of ? to find.]
The exclamation attributed to Archimedes, who is said to have cried out ``Eureka! eureka!'' (I have found it! I have found it!), upon suddenly discovering a method of finding out how much the gold of King Hiero's crown had been alloyed. Hence, an expression of triumph concerning a discovery.

Archimedes jumped out of the bath shouting EUREKA not because he had worked out displacement etc., but because the water was too damn hot.
EUREKA means literally
"My Butt is on fire"
