Italian word

ereditare

to inherit (property, traits)

Looks like

to inherit

to receive from a predecessor or upon someone's death

⚠️ The trap

Good match. But 'eredità' = inheritance/legacy (noun). Don't confuse 'eredità' (inheritance) with 'eredità' in computing jargon — in Italian IT, 'eredità' or 'ereditarietà' = inheritance in OOP, same metaphor.

To say "to receive from a predecessor or upon someone's death" in Italian:

ereditare

"ereditare" in English means:

to inherit (property, traits)

Example

"Ha ereditato la casa dal nonno."

"He inherited the house from his grandfather."
