Italian word
degustare
to taste, to savour, to sample (food/wine)
Looks like
to disgust
to cause a strong feeling of revulsion
⚠️ The trap
'Degustare' means to taste/savour pleasurably — the OPPOSITE of 'disgust'. 'Una degustazione di vini' = a wine tasting. Don't confuse with 'disgustare' (to disgust), which does exist in Italian.
To say "to cause a strong feeling of revulsion" in Italian:
degustare (savour); disgustare (disgust)
"degustare" in English means:
to taste, to savour, to sample (food/wine)
Example
"Voglio degustare i vini locali."
"I want to taste/sample the local wines."
