Looks like
soprano
same word borrowed from Italian — but English speakers sometimes use it as an adjective
⚠️ The trap
In Italian 'soprano' is an invariable noun — 'la soprano' (feminine singer). Never 'il soprano' for a woman. English treats it more loosely as adjective or noun.
To say "same word borrowed from Italian — but English speakers sometimes use it as an adjective" in Italian:
soprano (invariable noun in Italian)
"soprano" in English means:
the highest female (or boy) singing voice; a singer with that voice
Example
"La soprano ha eseguito un'aria di Puccini."
"The soprano performed an aria by Puccini."
