Italian word
lordo
gross (before deductions); dirty/filthy
Looks like
lord
a nobleman; a title of authority
⚠️ The trap
'Lordo' means gross (before tax) and also dirty/filthy. It does not mean lord. In payroll documents 'lordo' vs 'netto' is one of the most important distinctions.
To say "a nobleman; a title of authority" in Italian:
lordo (gross/dirty); nobile / lord (nobleman)
"lordo" in English means:
gross (before deductions); dirty/filthy
Example
"Lo stipendio lordo è di tremila euro, quello netto di duemila."
"The gross salary is three thousand euros, the net is two thousand."
