⚠️ The trap
In Italian, 'patologia' is commonly used to mean a disease or condition — 'una patologia grave'. In English, 'pathology' primarily refers to the scientific study of disease or the lab department. Italians use 'patologia' where English speakers say 'condition' or 'disease'.
To say "the science of disease; also the lab department that analyses tissue" in Italian:
malattia (more common for 'disease')
"patologia" in English means:
disease, condition, pathology
Example
"Soffre di una patologia cronica al fegato."
"He suffers from a chronic liver condition."
