campaniecampaign (distantly related through Latin campus)Etymology
Romanian borrowed "campus" directly from English in the twentieth century, as universities began building American-style residential grounds. English itself had taken the word from Latin "campus", meaning field or open plain, a term Princeton first applied to its own grounds in the eighteenth century. Romanian already had a native word from the same Latin root, "câmp" (field), inherited over centuries rather than borrowed. So "campus" and "câmp" are doublets: two Romanian words from one Latin ancestor, arriving by different routes.
