⚠️ The trap
Figaro is a proper name from Rossini's opera meaning a barber. It's not a regular word for 'figure'. For shape/number use 'figura' or 'numero'.
To say "a shape or number" in Italian:
figura (for figure/shape); numero (for number)
"figaro" in English means:
a barber (from opera/literary reference)
Example
"Il barbiere di Siviglia si chiama Figaro."
"The Barber of Seville is called Figaro."
