### 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”). Related to omnis, optimus and opus.

### Pronunciation

* (Classical Latin) IPA: /ops/, [ɔps̠]
* (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA: /ops/, [ɔps]

### Noun

ops f (genitive opis); third declension
* (in the singular, nominative not in use) strength, power, power to help, property
    Synonyms: fortitūdō, efficācia, capācitās, valētūdō, vīs, vehementia
** 27 BCE – 25 BCE, Titus Livius, Ab Urbe Condita I.2:Turnus Rutulique [...] ad florentes opes Etruscorum [...] confugiuntTurnus and the Rutulians resorted to the splendid power of the Etruscans
* (in the plural) resources, wealth, riches
* assistance, help, aid, support
    Synonyms: adiūtus, adiumentum, auxilium, subsidium, fidēs, praesidium

#### 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/.

#### Declension

Third-declension noun.
