Étymologie

From Middle English office, from Old French office, from Latin officium (“personal, official, or moral duty; official position; function; ceremony, esp. last rites”), contracted from opificium (“construction: the act of building or the thing built”), from opifex (“doer of work, craftsman”) + -ium (“-y: forming actions”), from op- (“base of opus: work”) + -i- (“connective”) + -fex (“combining form of facere: to do, to make”).
The use in reference to office software is a genericization of various proprietary program suites, such as Microsoft Office.
