magnum opus代表作;巨著;杰作
"作品,创作",尤指音乐作品,1809年,源自拉丁语 opus "工作,劳动,尽力"(意大利语 opera,法语 oeuvre,西班牙语 obra 的来源),源自原意语 *opes- "工作",源自 PIE 词根 *op- "劳动,丰产"。复数形式很少使用,为 opera。 Opus Dei,字面意思为"上帝的工作",是一个天主教组织,成立于1928年的西班牙,旨在通过成员的生活示范来重新确立社会中的基督教理念。
borrowed from Latin oper-, opus (plural opera) "work, effort, product of labor, work of art," going back to Indo-European *h3ep-os-, *h3ep-es- "work" (whence also Sanskrit apas- "work, action"), derivative of *h3ep- "ability, force," whence Latin op-, *ops "power, ability, wealth, resource(s)," and, with varying suffixation, Sanskrit apnas- "possession, property, work," Hittite happina- "rich," happir-, happar- "business, trade," Germanic *afla- (whence Old English afol "power, might," Old Norse afl "strength"); and, with lengthened ablaut grade, Sanskrit āpas- "work, religious act," Avestan huuāpah- "performing good deeds," Germanic *ōbjan- "to perform" (whence Old Saxon oƀian "to celebrate," Old High German uoben, uoppen "to practice, exercise") Note: Possibly also related are Old Norse efna "to perform, fulfill," Old English efnan "to accomplish, achieve" (from Germanic *abnjan-?), but this is uncertain.
The first known use of opus was in 1808
