Spanish translation for the term operad?

Question

I would like to know which is the correct term in Spanish for operad(s)?

It cannot be operador, since that is reserved for operators. I do not see anything online on the topic (there is no Spanish Wikipage for 'operad'). Thanks in advance.

@got it-thanks Sorry, I should have added that I refer to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operad_theory — Javier Arias, Sep 26 '15 at 00:05
Operad as you quoted is the imperative form of the verb operar.......I mean the noun with a mathematical sense...... — Javier Arias, Sep 26 '15 at 00:06
This is a made up word in English. There may not be such a thing as a "correct" term for it in another language. Perhaps just use "operad?" — Matt Samuel, Sep 26 '15 at 07:18

Suárez-Álvarez. So you would then say "teoría de operads" in Spanish? – Javier Arias Sep 29 '15 at 08:49

I haven't used it much in Spanish conversations, but I'd say "óperad" is more common. – Bruno Stonek Oct 07 '15 at 15:07
I would say that, @javier, with the accent as Bruno suggests. – Mariano Suárez-Álvarez Aug 07 '17 at 14:54

'Factor' is the correct term for the operands in a multiplication but most Spanish speakers who know the term will accept it's use as the general term, mainly due to the rule that has become a saying 'el orden de los factores no altera el resultado', used to argue with someone that it doesn't matter what happened first and what matters is the result. Most operands have their unique names, such as 'nomio', 'substraendo', 'dividendo', 'divisor', etc.
