oeuvre \œ-vruh\ noun 1. French. the works of a writer, painter, or the like, taken as a whole. 2. French. any one of the works of a writer, painter, or the like. Quotes I am very fond of our body of work together, our oeuvre, even though logging 24-hour days for years on end for a band is not the easiest way to lead a life that could have been very creative in its own right. -- Ian Faith, interviewed by Chick Hadrian, "Spinal Tap: The Unauthorized Sequel," Spy, July/August, 1992 Origin Oeuvre comes to English by way of French and can ultimately be traced to the Latin word for "work," opus. It entered English in the late 1800s.
