Operose - involving or displaying a lot of effort.
Opsimath - a person who begins to learn or study late in life.
Orectic - having to do with desire or appetite.
I've got this big, satisfyingly heavy dictionary, the middle of it takes a detour from the mundane alphabetical listing of words and their meanings and lists under various themes instead. One such theme is 'fascinating words'. Sometimes I dip in to it to spice up my writing, sometimes I use some of the words in conversation: I called someone puddysticks just 'cause it sounds like an insult, apparently it's a word used by kids in South Africa and means 'very easy'.
