Italian word

deposito

deposit (bank); warehouse; security deposit

Looks like

deposit

money placed in a bank; a layer of mineral; a down payment

⚠️ The trap

Mostly equivalent. However, 'deposito' also means warehouse (luogo di deposito), which English speakers may not expect. 'Deposito bagagli' is a left-luggage facility, not a bank.

To say "money placed in a bank; a layer of mineral; a down payment" in Italian:

deposito (deposit/warehouse)

"deposito" in English means:

deposit (bank); warehouse; security deposit

Example

"Ho versato un deposito cauzionale prima di firmare il contratto d'affitto."

"I paid a security deposit before signing the rental agreement."
