Campos

/ˈkɑːmpoʊs/ noun

Definition

Plural of campo, a flat grassland or prairie, especially in South America.

Etymology

From Spanish and Portuguese campo, derived from Latin campus (field or plain). Used to describe open grasslands similar to Argentine pampas.

Kelly Says

The Spanish word 'campo' is directly descended from Latin 'campus,' the same root that gives us 'campus' for a university—so both are literally just 'fields' where people gather and learn.
