Linea 35:
:::It's a bit of a puzzle with this English term. Originally "ware" was certainly "a range of goods on sale", as Jondel suggests with ''merx''. In modern computer terminology I think it's more "a category of structure", for which ''opus'', as Donatello suggested, might be OK (I think). But I could be all wrong -- happy to defer to those who know better.
:::All I really want to say is, please, no invented compounds -- ''mollimerx'' and ''mollopus'' are amazing words, but they'll never be Latin words, believe me :) <font face="Gill Sans">[[Usor:Andrew Dalby|Andrew]]<font color="green">[[Disputatio Usoris:Andrew Dalby| Dalby]]</font></font> 11:48, 3 Iunii 2013 (UTC)
::::Absolutely, noli fingere! Anyway, my understanding is the metaphor of "hardware" = physical tools (i.e. the sort you'd get at a hardware store, and not something that would be calqued) and "software" is a reanalysis of this (by another sort of process that doesn't seem very Latin). The Greek, incidentally, appears to have [[:el:υλικό|υλικό]] (''hylicum'') for hardware and [[:el:λογισμικό|λογισμικό]] (''logismicum'') for software, neither referring to hardness or softness, but to materiality and calculation. —[[Usor:Mycēs|Mucius Tever]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Mycēs|disputatio]]) 13:30, 3 Iunii 2013 (UTC)
