"контора" meaning in Russian

See контора in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [kɐnˈtorə] Audio: Ru-контора.ogg
Etymology: Borrowed from German Kontor around 1720, from Middle Low German kontôr, komtôr, komptor (“commercial branch; writing room; counting desk/table”), from Middle Dutch contoor, contoir, comptoir, from Middle French contoir, comptoir, from conter, compter (“to count”) + -oir (“instrument sufffix”), from Latin computāre and -tōrium. Sense 'KGB' originated from a pun playing on another rare meaning of the abbreviation, namely контора глубокого бурения (kontora glubokovo burenija, literally “deep-boring field office”), in the 1960s.
