Etymology
The word comes from French "opération", itself from Latin "operatio, operationis", a noun built on the verb "operari", meaning to work or labor. The Latin verb in turn derives from "opus, operis", meaning work or deed. Romanian borrowed the term as part of the modern wave of French-influenced vocabulary in the 19th century.
