"Op-ed" is short for "opposite the editorial page," and is colloquially sometimes known as the "opinions and editorials page." It's an opinion piece in magazines that is usually written by someone unrelated to the editors of the magazine. Ex: A writer I admire wrote an op-ed for the New York Times. Ex: I read an interesting op-ed recently that talks about how in the future, education might become entirely digital.
