> According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word compound in this sense is thought to be etymologically derived ultimately from the Malay-Indonesian word kampung or kampong, meaning 'enclosure' / 'village', probably entering English via Dutch / Portuguese.

It all traces back to the ancient Latin idiom, Campus Ponere. Litterally translated it means "to pitch the field" but in common parlance of the time, it was the command given to solders to pitch or make camp.
