Italian word

emittente

issuer (of shares, bonds); broadcaster (TV/radio)

Looks like

emitter

something that sends out light, sound, or radiation

⚠️ The trap

'Emittente' in finance means the party issuing securities. In media it means a TV or radio broadcaster. Neither meaning matches the technical English 'emitter' (electronics/physics).

To say "something that sends out light, sound, or radiation" in Italian:

emittente (issuer/broadcaster)

"emittente" in English means:

issuer (of shares, bonds); broadcaster (TV/radio)

Example

"L'emittente obbligazionaria deve rispettare i covenant."

"The bond issuer must comply with the covenants."
