What is meant by "Operand"?

In some of the AARs for Strategic Command WWII: World at War, some commentators use the word "Operand".

Suggestion: make the map and unit icons high definition (HD) friendly (and ultra HD too while we're at it). In October, I put in 40+ hours into WiF and leased a 55 inch 4k HD TV to see if it would make a difference. It did not. The icons and symbols were a ...

That's my perspective as a newbie to WiF. There is a team of dedicated players who are doing a great job making the game a better game. For me, the gameplay was pleasantly intuitive 90% to 95% of the time. But it was the remaining 5% to 10% of non ...
