Italian word
afflusso
influx, inflow, large flow (of people or liquid)
Looks like
afflux / affliction
affliction = suffering, distress
⚠️ The trap
'Afflusso' is an influx or inflow and is completely unrelated to 'affliction' (suffering). The Italian word for affliction is 'afflizione'. Don't confuse them based on the similar spelling.
To say "affliction = suffering, distress" in Italian:
afflizione (for affliction)
"afflusso" in English means:
influx, inflow, large flow (of people or liquid)
Example
"C'è stato un grande afflusso di turisti durante l'estate."
"There was a large influx of tourists during the summer."
