/ˈruːbɪks ˌkjuːb/, U.S.

/ˈrubɪks ˌkjub/

Forms:

α. 1900s– Rubik's cube.

β. 1900s– Rubik cube.

Origin: From a proper name, combined with an English element. Etymons: proper name Rubik , cube n.¹

Etymology: In α. forms < the (English) genitive of the name of Ernő Rubik (b. 1944), Hungarian architect, designer, and teacher, and inventor of this puzzle + cube n.¹ In β. forms < the name of Ernő Rubik + cube n.¹Compare Hungarian Rubik-kocka Rubik cube (1982 or earlier). The puzzle was originally called Bűvös kocka, literally ‘magic cube’, by its inventor (1980 or earlier); Rubik gave permission for the use of his name in January 1980.

A proprietary name for: a three-dimensional puzzle consisting of a multicoloured plastic cube which must be manipulated to adjust the pattern of colours. Also figurative.Each side of the cube is divided into nine squares, each of which has one of six colours, giving the impression that the cube is made up of twenty-seven smaller cubes. A central pivot allows for the independent rotation of each layer of the cube around one of three axes. The puzzle is solved when the layers are rotated and the coloured squares aligned so that each face of the larger cube is of a uniform colour.
