Italian word

ricetta

prescription (medical) or recipe (cooking)

Looks like

receipt

proof of payment for a transaction

⚠️ The trap

'Ricetta' means prescription or recipe — NOT the slip you get when you pay at a shop. For a payment receipt say 'scontrino' (till receipt) or 'ricevuta' (formal receipt).

To say "proof of payment for a transaction" in Italian:

scontrino, ricevuta (for receipt)

"ricetta" in English means:

prescription (medical) or recipe (cooking)

Example

"Ho bisogno di una ricetta per questo antibiotico."

"I need a prescription for this antibiotic."
