Italian word
marmellata
jam made from citrus fruit (technically); colloquially any jam
Looks like
marmalade
marmalade is specifically citrus jam (especially orange) in English
⚠️ The trap
Italians use 'marmellata' for ALL jams, even strawberry or apricot. In strict English usage, 'marmalade' is only citrus. Technically in Italian, non-citrus preserves should be called 'confettura', but in everyday speech 'marmellata' is used for everything.
To say "marmalade is specifically citrus jam (especially orange) in English" in Italian:
marmellata (jam, any fruit) / confettura (non-citrus jam, technically)
"marmellata" in English means:
jam made from citrus fruit (technically); colloquially any jam
Example
"Ho messo la marmellata di fragole sul toast."
"I put strawberry jam on the toast."
