Well, honey, the root word for "magnum opus" comes from Latin. "Magnum" means great or large, and "opus" means work or labor. So put them together, and you've got yourself a fancy term for someone's masterpiece or greatest work. Now go out there and create your own magnum opus!
Opus isthe nominative form of a Latin masculine noun of the 3rd declension which means "work"Magnum is the nominative case of the neutral form of the adjective magnus, magna, magnum (masc. fem. neuter ) which means "great"So Terra's magnum opus, is Terra's great work. But it would likely be: Terri magnum opus, because in Latin the genitive case (which usually ends with an "i" in the name shows personal possession.) So you end up with: The great work of Terra.
The term Magnum opus is from the Latin meaning "great work", refers to the largest, and perhaps the best, greatest, most popular, or most renowned achievement of an artist.
