peripheral device (computing); a ring road / bypass
Looks like
peripheral
relating to the periphery; a peripheral device in computing
⚠️ The trap
In computing 'periferica' = peripheral device (printer, mouse, etc.) — same as English. But 'la periferica' as a noun also means the ring road or bypass around a city. This second meaning is uniquely Italian in common usage.
To say "relating to the periphery; a peripheral device in computing" in Italian:
periferica (correct — both computing and road contexts)
"periferica" in English means:
peripheral device (computing); a ring road / bypass
Example
"Prendi la periferica per evitare il traffico del centro."
"Take the ring road to avoid the city centre traffic."
