Campaign

As a noun campaign means "a series of military operations undertaken to achieve a large-scale objective during a war." It comes from the French campagne, from the Italian campagna meaning field, military operation, which comes from the Late Latin campānia meaning open country or battlefield, and ultimately comes from the Latin campus meaning field.
