Italian word

dolore

pain, ache; grief, sorrow

Looks like

dolor (Spanish cognate, but also sounds like 'dolour')

dolour = great distress or sadness (archaic/literary)

⚠️ The trap

English speakers sometimes confuse 'dolore' with 'dollar' (sounds similar when spoken fast). 'Dolore' = pain/sorrow, completely unrelated to money.

To say "dolour = great distress or sadness (archaic/literary)" in Italian:

dolore

"dolore" in English means:

pain, ache; grief, sorrow

Example

"Ho un forte dolore alla schiena."

"I have a strong pain in my back."
