⚠️ The trap

Largely equivalent as a noun. However, English 'contract' can also mean 'to shrink' or 'to get a disease' (contract a virus). In Italian, 'contratto' is always a noun; you cannot use it as a verb. 'Contrarre' is the verb (to contract/catch a disease).

To say "a legally binding agreement; to shrink (verb)" in Italian:

contratto
