Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: OPERE is an inflected form of the Latin noun OPUS, meaning 'work, deed, task, labor, effort, achievement, structure, or building'. It can function as either the dative or ablative singular case. As a dative, it indicates the indirect object or purpose, often translated with 'to' or 'for'. As an ablative, it indicates means, instrument, manner, place where, or separation, often translated with 'by', 'with', 'from', or 'in'. It is also notably used in the idiom 'opus est' (there is need of), where 'opus' is in the nominative but 'est' takes a dative or ablative.
