Italian word
balletto
ballet
Looks like
ballot
a voting paper or the act of voting
⚠️ The trap
'Balletto' and 'ballot' both come from the Italian word 'balla' (ball), but diverged: 'balletto' kept the dance meaning, while 'ballot' (via French) took on the voting sense. In Italian, voting is 'votare' and a ballot is 'scheda elettorale'.
To say "a voting paper or the act of voting" in Italian:
voto / scheda elettorale (for ballot/vote)
"balletto" in English means:
ballet
Example
"La bambina sogna di fare parte del balletto."
"The little girl dreams of being part of the ballet."
