Italian word

affetto

affection, fondness

Looks like

affected

influenced by; pretentious in manner

⚠️ The trap

'Affetto' is a warm noun meaning fondness. If you mean 'he was affected by the disease', say 'è stato colpito dalla malattia', not 'ha avuto affetto dalla malattia'.

To say "influenced by; pretentious in manner" in Italian:

affettato (manners), colpito (influenced)

"affetto" in English means:

affection, fondness

Example

"Ho molto affetto per i miei nonni."

"I have great affection for my grandparents."
