A1🏥 Medical
Italian word
farmacia
pharmacy, chemist (where you buy medicine)
Looks like
farm
a place where animals are raised or crops are grown
⚠️ The trap
Despite sounding like 'farm', 'farmacia' has nothing to do with agriculture. It comes from Greek 'pharmakon' (drug). A farm in Italian is 'fattoria' or 'azienda agricola'.
To say "a place where animals are raised or crops are grown" in Italian:
fattoria (for farm)
"farmacia" in English means:
pharmacy, chemist (where you buy medicine)
Example
"Puoi comprare questo sciroppo in farmacia senza ricetta."
"You can buy this syrup at the pharmacy without a prescription."
