Adjective
1. of fields or open country;
"living in campestral seclusion"
Latin campestr-, campester, from campus
The first known use of campestral was in 1670
1 This contained a liberal amount of sonorous words derived from the Latin, such as "campestral," "lapidescent," "obnubilate," and "adventitious."
2 Engelmann and I have been noting the species truly indigenous here which, becoming ruderal or campestral, are increasing in the number of individuals instead of diminishing as the country becomes more settled and forests removed.
