Italian word

fiato

breath, breathing

Looks like

fiat

a formal authorisation or decree; the car brand

⚠️ The trap

Fiato = breath. Fiat (English) = a decree or the Italian car brand. 'Senza fiato' = breathless — nothing to do with authority or automobiles.

To say "a formal authorisation or decree; the car brand" in Italian:

decreto (for fiat/decree); fiato for breath

"fiato" in English means:

breath, breathing

Example

"Ho il fiato corto dopo aver corso."

"I'm short of breath after running."
