Italian word

ricavo

revenue, proceeds (money received from sales)

Looks like

recovery / recoup

recovery = getting better or getting back; recoup = to recover a loss

⚠️ The trap

'Ricavo' sounds like 'recoup/recovery' but means revenue or proceeds from sales. Do not confuse with 'recupero' (recovery). In accounting, 'ricavi' are the top-line revenues.

To say "recovery = getting better or getting back; recoup = to recover a loss" in Italian:

ricavo (revenue/proceeds); recupero (recovery)

"ricavo" in English means:

revenue, proceeds (money received from sales)

Example

"I ricavi totali dell'esercizio ammontano a cinque milioni."

"Total revenues for the financial year amount to five million."
