Find derives from proto-Germanic languages, and its original form was finthan, which means «to come upon, discover». Find out is an expression that came from Middle English outfinden which means «to discover by scrutiny» (discover by deep analysis). (source)
Discover is a word derived from Latin dis— «opposite of» + cooperire «to cover up». Once it had a sense of betrayal or malicious exposure, but nowadays, since the 1550s, it means «to obtain knowledge or sight of what was not known». (source)
Both words/expressions are equivalent in meaning, but in a casual speech, it’s much more likely to hear find out than discover, since the latter has Latin origins, which can be classified as «fancy word», used mainly in Courts of Justice or in formal conversations with authorities.
