Etymology
The term 'cuber' originated with the popularity of the Rubik's Cube, invented by Ernล Rubik in 1974. Initially used to describe anyone who could manipulate the cube, it evolved into a more specific term for those engaged in competitive solving. As the Rubik's Cube gained international fame by the 1980s, the community of solvers grew, leading to the establishment of formal competitions and a distinct identity for passionate enthusiasts. The rise of the internet further accelerated the cubing culture, allowing cubers to share techniques and compete virtually. Today, the term encompasses a wide range of puzzles beyond the original cube, reflecting the diverse interests and skills of those who identify as cubers.
