OPERĀRĪ‘to work (from OPUS 'work')’
Las seis hermanas descienden de él, salvo que se indique lo contrario abajo.
La historia
OPERĀRĪ just meant 'to work'. In the sisters the patient is a direct object (operar a alguien, opérer quelqu'un, operare qualcuno), and 'to have an operation' is operarse, se faire opérer, farsi operare.

La familia latina
OPUS, OPER-· work
Latin had both OPUS 'a work' and OPERA 'effort, labour'; the sisters inherited the second: obra, œuvre, opera. Spanish shows the popular P → b (obrar, obrero) against the learned operar, operación, and Italian's sung opera is simply 'the work'. Portuguese and Catalan obra are inherited as well; Romanian borrowed operă from the learned side.
