The term opus appears with striking versatility across literary and scholarly texts, denoting everything from an author’s creative masterpiece to a specific technical construction. In some works it signifies a magnum opus—a career-defining work as noted in Nietzsche’s reference ([1]) or even a modest pile of papers humorously asserted as one’s magnum opus ([2], [3]). Classical and architectural texts employ opus in its literal sense, describing structural techniques like opus reticulatum ([4], [5]) while Latin grammatical treatises examine its evolution as a substantive or adjective ([6], [7], [8]). Additionally, opus is used in metaphorical or rhetorical expressions that highlight the weight or necessity of an endeavor ([9], [10], [11]), underscoring its rich and multifaceted role in literature and beyond.
