câmp

Câmp is a Romanian word that translates to "field" in English. It refers to an open expanse of land, typically used for agriculture or pasture. The term can encompass various types of open areas, from cultivated farmland to natural meadows. In a broader sense, "câmp" can also denote a broader area or region, signifying a stretch of land without significant obstructions. The word has roots in Latin, likely deriving from "campus," which also means field or plain. The concept of a câmp is central to rural Romanian life, representing a primary source of livelihood and a defining feature of the landscape. Beyond its literal meaning, "câmp" can be used metaphorically to describe a domain or an area of activity, such as a "câmp de cercetare" (research field) or a "câmp de luptă" (battlefield). The visual of a câmp often evokes images of openness, cultivation, and natural beauty.
