ordine

order (purchase order); order (instruction); tidiness; religious/professional order

Looks like

order

a command; an arrangement; a purchase order; a monastic community

⚠️ The trap

Mostly equivalent. Note 'ordine del giorno' (agenda for a meeting) and 'all'ordine del giorno' (on the agenda / very common nowadays). In professional guilds, 'ordine' refers to the official body (Ordine degli Avvocati = Bar Association).

To say "a command; an arrangement; a purchase order; a monastic community" in Italian:

ordine (order in all senses)

"ordine" in English means:

order (purchase order); order (instruction); tidiness; religious/professional order

Example

"Abbiamo ricevuto un ordine di diecimila pezzi dal cliente tedesco."

"We received an order of ten thousand pieces from the German client."
