How these synonyms differ

function - 'Function' is about purpose, when something functions, it does what it was designed to do. Clinical rather than effortful.
labor - 'Labor' emphasizes physical or strenuous effort, it carries connotations of toil and endurance that 'work' doesn't.
operate - 'Operate' implies running or managing something, a machine operates, a surgeon operates, a business operates.
toil - 'Toil' is literary and heavy, it implies thankless, exhausting work that grinds a person down.
