The word is also used figuratively, especially in politics., of any continuous operations aimed at a definite object, as the "Plan of Campaign" in Ireland during 1886-1887. The word is de: ived from the Latin Campania, the plain lying south-west of the Tiber, c.f. Italian, la Campagna di Roma, from which came two French forms: (1) Champagne, the name given to the level province of that name, and hence the English "champaign," a level tract of country free from woods and hills; and (2) Campagne, and the English "campaign" with the restricted military meaning.
