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 op? is attested only once.
• The ablative singular is usually ope, but once op? in Varro (in giving an etymology) and op?d in an inscription, doubly unusual for having an i-stem ending augmented with the o-stem ablative /d/.

Declension

Third-declension noun.

Etymology 1

From Late Middle English vagraunt (“person without proper employment; person without a fixed abode, tramp, vagabond”) [and other forms], probably from Anglo-Norman vagarant, wakerant, waucrant (“vagrant”) [and other forms] and Old French walcrant, waucrant (“roaming, wandering”) [and other forms], perhaps influenced by Latin vag?r?, the present active infinitive of vagor (“to ramble, stroll about; to roam, rove, wander”). Old French walcrant is the present participle of vagrer, wacrer, walcrer (“to wander, wander about as a vagabond”) [and other forms], from Frankish *walkr?n (“to wander about”), the frequentative form of *walk?n (“to walk; to wander; to stomp, trample; to full (make cloth denser and firmer by soaking, beating and pressing)”), from Proto-Germanic *walk?n? (“to roll about, wallow; to full”), *walkan? (“to turn, wind; to toss; to roll, roll about; to wend; to walk; to wander; to trample; to full”), from Proto-Indo-European *walg-, *walk-, *welg?-, *welk-, *wolg- (“to turn, twist; to move”), ultimately from *welH- (“to turn; to wind”).

The English word is cognate with Latin valgus (“bandy-legged, bow-legged”), Middle Dutch walken (“to knead; to full”), Old English wealcan (“to roll”), ?ewealcan (“to go; to walk about”), Old High German walchan, walkan (“to move up and down; to press together; to full; to walk; to wander”), Old Norse valka (“to wander”). See further at walk.
