    What was named after the Latin term for 'level field'?

    Question #81027. Asked by tragic_flawed. (May 26 07 11:50 AM)

    		The word "campaign" qualifies, and champagne can be also be traced back to the late Latin "campania" and then Latin "campus," though the wine was actually named after the region that produces it.
