Italian word

capitolato

specifications or terms of a public procurement contract

Looks like

capitulate

to surrender; to give in

⚠️ The trap

'Capitolato' sounds like 'capitulate' but has nothing to do with surrender. It is a technical document listing the conditions of a public works or services contract. The verb 'capitolare' (to surrender) exists separately in Italian.

To say "to surrender; to give in" in Italian:

capitolato

"capitolato" in English means:

specifications or terms of a public procurement contract

"Il capitolato specifica i materiali da utilizzare."

"The tender specifications specify the materials to be used."
