ok this might seem stupid... what does /opt stand for ?

maybe a faq be made for the wiki as it could get windows users used to
/program files/windows/my documents/ for everything. i know it would
help me alot to understand the layout of the / fs a little.

initrd = ?
lib = libaries ?
lost+found= lost+found (don't know what goes in there)
media = removable media ?
mnt = mounted filesystems ?
opt = ?
proc = info for current processes ?
root = settings for root user ?
sbin = [s]binaries ?
srv = [server] ?
sys = [system] ?
tmp = temp files ?
usr = user files/config files ?
var = [varibles] ?

sorry if this seems stupid.
