Italian word

tagliere

a wooden chopping board; in restaurants, a board of cheese/meats served on it

Looks like

tailor

a tailor is someone who makes clothes

⚠️ The trap

'Tagliere' comes from 'tagliare' (to cut) — it is a cutting board. In restaurants it has become fashionable to serve cheese and meat platters on a wooden board, so 'un tagliere' on the menu means a board of assorted cheeses and/or cured meats.

To say "a tailor is someone who makes clothes" in Italian:

tagliere (cutting board / charcuterie board)

"tagliere" in English means:

a wooden chopping board; in restaurants, a board of cheese/meats served on it

Example

"Prendiamo un tagliere di formaggi e salumi."

"Let's get a board of cheeses and cured meats."
