Morphology
campestral = campestr + al
Formed from a Latin stem 'campestr-' plus the productive English suffix '-al', but the stem is not a standalone English word, so learners cannot reliably derive the meaning from familiar English components.
Etymology
The word campestral comes from the Latin word campus, which means 'field'. You can see the same root in campus and camp, both of which bring to mind open land, so campestral means 'of the fields' or 'rural'.
