Etymology

    From Proto-Italic *opis, from Proto-Indo-European *h₃ep-(i)-, *h₃op-(i)- (“force, ability”), from *h₃ep- (“to work, toil; ability”), whence also Hittite [script needed] (happina-, “rich”), Sanskrit अप्नस् (ápnas, “property, possession”), Avestan 𐬀𐬟𐬥𐬀𐬤𐬵𐬀𐬧𐬝 (afnaŋᵛhaṇt̰, “rich in property”), and possibly Ancient Greek ὄμπνη (ómpnē, “food, corn”).[1] Related to omnis, optimus and opus.

    Pronunciation

    genitive opis

    3. assistance, help, aid, support

    Usage notes

    • Only the genitive, accusative and ablative forms of the singular are in ordinary use as a common noun, also confirmed by the grammarians' statements.
    • The nominative singular ops is not in use other than as the name of the goddess; the dative opī is attested only once.
    • The ablative singular is usually ope, but once opī in Varro (in giving an etymology) and opīd in an inscription, doubly unusual for having an i-stem ending augmented with the o-stem ablative /d/.
