Italian word
museo
museum
Looks like
muse
a goddess of artistic inspiration; to think deeply
⚠️ The trap
English speakers might read 'museo' and think of 'muse' (source of inspiration). The Italian for that is 'musa'. 'Museo' comes from the Greek 'mouseion' and only means a museum building.
To say "a goddess of artistic inspiration; to think deeply" in Italian:
musa (for the muse of inspiration)
"museo" in English means:
museum
Example
"Il museo è aperto tutti i giorni tranne il lunedì."
"The museum is open every day except Monday."
