campaign

campaign: [17] Ultimately, campaign and champagne are the same word. Both go back to late Latin campānia, a derivative of Latin campus ‘open field’ (source of English camp). This passed into Old French as champagne and into Italian as campagna ‘open country’, and both words have subsequently come to be used as the designation of regions in France and Italy (whence English champagne [17], wine made in the Champagne area of eastern France).

The French word was also borrowed into English much earlier, as the now archaic champaign ‘open country’ [14]. Meanwhile, in Italian a particular military application of campagna had arisen: armies disliked fighting in winter because of the bad weather, so they stayed in camp, not emerging to do battle in the open countryside (the campagna) until summer. Hence campagna came to mean ‘military operations’; it was borrowed in to French as campagne, and thence into English.
=> camp, champagne

lun-（月亮）：罗马神话中的满月女神卢娜

罗马神话中，满月女神叫做“卢娜”（Luna），对应于希腊神话中的塞勒涅，后人常 常将她与戴安娜（Diana）合称为“月亮女神”。她是光亮之神的女儿，太阳神和黎明女神的姐妹。她爱上了英俊的牧羊人恩底弥翁（Endymion）。每 天夜间，卢娜都从空中飘下偷吻熟睡中的牧羊人。然而女神的失职引起了主神宙斯的注意。为了消除凡人对女神的诱惑，宙斯给了恩底弥翁两个选择：任何形式的死 亡；或者在永远的梦幻中青春永在。牧羊人选择了后者。于是卢娜每天晚上，来到他沉睡的山洞，亲吻他的脸颊。最后她为自己的爱人生下了五十个女儿。

从卢娜的名字Luna中产生了词根lun-，表示月亮。

Luna：['lju:nə]n.月亮，月神
