Italian word

affrettarsi

to hurry, to rush

affront

to deliberately offend or insult

⚠️ The trap

Visually similar to 'affront' but completely unrelated. 'Affrettarsi' comes from 'fretta' (hurry). To affront someone in Italian, say 'offendere' or 'fare un affronto a'.

To say "to deliberately offend or insult" in Italian:

offendere, insultare

"affrettarsi" in English means:

to hurry, to rush

Example

"Dobbiamo affrettarci o perderemo il treno."

"We must hurry or we will miss the train."
