From the word’s history
Borrowed from Latin campus 'field'; first used in its current sense of Princeton University in the 1770s.
借自拉丁文 campus「田野」；1770 年代起用來指普林斯頓大學的校地。
Picture a university seen from above: not one building but a whole piece of ground with lawns, halls, labs and dorms on it, all belonging to the same place. The word draws a boundary around all of that and calls it one thing.
