Italian word

scioccato

shocked, deeply disturbed by something unexpected

Looks like

shocked

greatly disturbed or disgusted

⚠️ The trap

Borrowed directly from English. Perfectly natural in modern Italian. Older/formal Italian uses 'sconvolto' (devastated/overwhelmed) or 'sbalordito' (astonished).

To say "greatly disturbed or disgusted" in Italian:

scioccato (anglicism, from 'shocked')

"scioccato" in English means:

shocked, deeply disturbed by something unexpected

Example

"Eravamo tutti scioccati dalla notizia dell'incidente."

"We were all shocked by the news of the accident."
