Reconstruction notes
Became the generic word for "work" in much of Romance (rivalling the reflexes of and ), a sense that appears to have developed relatively late, given that it is not found in the earliest Romance texts, and then presumably spread around via semantic borrowing.

Several descendants reflect the first vowel as, perhaps simply due to assimilation to the stressed vowel of the following syllable.
