Italian word

elaborazione

processing, elaboration, development

Looks like

elaboration

the process of developing something in detail

⚠️ The trap

Good match in formal/academic contexts. But 'elaborazione dati' in IT = 'data processing', not 'data elaboration'. Learners who calque from Italian into English produce 'data elaboration' which sounds unnatural.

To say "the process of developing something in detail" in Italian:

elaborazione

"elaborazione" in English means:

processing, elaboration, development

Example

"L'elaborazione dei dati richiede tempo."

"Data processing takes time."
