Italian word

comprendere

to understand; also to include or comprise

Looks like

comprehend

to understand fully

⚠️ The trap

Comprendere can mean both 'to understand' and 'to include'. English 'comprehend' only means to understand. When you see 'compreso nel prezzo' it means included in the price, not understood in the price.

To say "to understand fully" in Italian:

capire (to understand, more colloquial)

"comprendere" in English means:

to understand; also to include or comprise

Example

"Il prezzo comprende la colazione."

"The price includes breakfast."
