Etymology

    Inherited from Old French champegnuel, from Vulgar Latin *campāniolus (“grows in the field”), from Late Latin campāneus (“relating to fields”), from Latin campānia (“level country”). The “accelerator” sense comes from the fact that accelerator pedals were initially mushroom-shaped.[1]
