    Usage notes

    [edit]

    Opus is used mostly of the mechanical activity of work, as that of animals, slaves, and soldiers; opera supposes a free will and desire to serve).

    The word, in its “spare time” meaning, is frequently used in the ante-classic period, and especially by Plautus, in the locution operae esse (“to be worth the time”). Later on, it is characteristic of Livy's style and of the archaising tendencies of Silver Latin.
