Etymology: "Campings" is the plural of "camping," so it names several instances of the activity, or several separate outings. "Camping" is itself a noun formed from the verb "camp," which in English goes back to Latin "campus," meaning a field or open plain. The verb "camp" developed from the sense of settling on open ground, and the noun "camping" grew out of that, now denoting the practice of living temporarily outdoors.

Synonyms: camp sites, campsites, campgrounds, encampments, camps
