Italian word
fondo
bottom; fund (investment fund); background
Looks like
fund
money set aside for a purpose; to finance something
⚠️ The trap
'Fondo' can mean fund but it also means bottom/background. 'In fondo' means at the bottom or in the end. Do not confuse with the English verb 'to fund' which is 'finanziare'.
To say "money set aside for a purpose; to finance something" in Italian:
fondo (investment fund); finanziare (to fund)
"fondo" in English means:
bottom; fund (investment fund); background
Example
"Il fondo di investimento ha acquisito la società."
"The investment fund acquired the company."
