Word Origin & Etymology
Borrowed in the early 17th century from French campagne, from Italian campagna ('open country'), ultimately from Late Latin campania ('level country') and Latin campus ('field'). Because armies historically marched out from winter quarters into the open fields during summer, the word shifted from meaning 'open countryside' to a 'season of military operations,' and later to any organized effort toward a goal.
