Wikipedia (2)
verb; zero derivation
To look up information using Wikipedia.
Etymology : Wikipedia is a blend of wiki, a technology used to create websites, and encylopedia, from Greek enkuklios paideia, 'general education'. This is an example of eponymy. It is similar to google in that both terms are website names which underwent zero derivation to become verbs. However, unlike google, Wikipedia has not yet broadened to include other online encyclopedias.
