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."
