    An op-ed is a newspaper page of signed opinion pieces, or one of those pieces. The paper’s own unsigned article — “we think” — is the editorial. An op-ed has a name under it: a teacher, a minister, someone with a view. The name began as office geography, not as a clever blend. Op-ed first meant “opposite the editorial”: the page that sat across from the paper’s own voice. People later decided it must mean “opinion-editorial.” That is a tidy guess, and it is the wrong history, though many English speakers now explain it that way. You hear op-ed in serious news talk, not at the night market. Online there is often no physical page, only a slot for opinion, but people still call the piece an op-ed.
