Word that first meant "labor" (4)

I believe the answer is:

opus

(Other definitions for opus that I've seen before include "Composition - magnum __" , "Work of 25 perhaps" , "(Numbered) musical composition" , "Piece of music (with number)" , "Musical composition in the soup" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
