Pronunciado como (IPA)

[ˈkam.pʊs]

Etimologia (Inglês)

Traditionally, from Proto-Italic *kampos, from Proto-Indo-European *kh₂ém-po-s, from *kh₂emp- (“to bend, curve; smooth”), making it an exact cognate of Lithuanian kam̃pas (“corner”) and Ancient Greek καμπ- (kamp-, “bend”). Compare camur (“curved, bent”) for the root without a -p- suffix.
Alternatively, perhaps an agricultural term borrowed from a substrate language; this would explain the irregular correspondences between Latin and Greek.
