Latin
Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *hep-ni- (working), from the verbal root *hep- (to work, and hence to
possess). Related to ops and opus. It could also reflect the base Proto-Indo-European *hop- (to work, to
take) (compare opt), to which de Vaan gives a slight preference for semantic reasons.
