Italian word

nascondere

to hide, to conceal

Looks like

nascent / nasty

just beginning to develop; unpleasant

⚠️ The trap

Looks like 'nascent' (beginning to emerge) or 'nasty', but means to hide or conceal. All three share no common meaning.

To say "just beginning to develop; unpleasant" in Italian:

nascente (for nascent); brutto / antipatico (for nasty)

"nascondere" in English means:

to hide, to conceal

Example

"Il bambino si è nascosto dietro il divano."

"The child hid behind the sofa."
