Italian word
documentare
to document, to provide evidence; to research/inform oneself
Looks like
to document
to record or support with evidence
⚠️ The trap
Good match for 'to document', but the reflexive 'documentarsi' = 'to do research on a topic, to inform oneself' — a meaning English 'to document' does not have.
To say "to record or support with evidence" in Italian:
documentare
"documentare" in English means:
to document, to provide evidence; to research/inform oneself
Example
"Mi sono documentato prima del viaggio."
"I researched/informed myself before the trip."
