What does CAMPO mean in Scrabble?
noun
An open public square in an Italian or Spanish town, or, in South America, an open grassy plain with scattered trees.
Campo comes from a Latin word for an open field, inherited by more than one southern European language that still uses it for unbuilt ground. In writing about northern Italy, especially Venice, a campo is the neighbourhood plaza around which houses, shops and a parish church typically cluster, filling much the same civic role elsewhere given to a piazza. In descriptions of South American countries, particularly Brazil, the very same word instead names a broad, grass-covered flatland scattered with low, stunted vegetation rather than dense forest. Both uses of campo keep the underlying sense of unbuilt open land, whether paved and civic or wild and rural.
How CAMPO is used
Encountered mainly in travel writing and geography, where it keeps its foreign flavour rather than being fully absorbed into everyday English.
- Tourists gathered in the campo to watch the evening light on the church.
- Cattle grazed across the open campo beyond the river.
- The guidebook described every campo in the old quarter of the city.
- Stunted trees dotted the vast campo stretching to the horizon.
- Market stalls filled the small campo behind the cathedral.
