⚠️ The trap
True cognate for physical refreshment. However, to 'refresh' a browser page in Italian, you say 'aggiornare la pagina', not 'rinfrescare'. The tech meaning does not transfer.
To say "to make fresh again; to update" in Italian:
rinfrescare (true cognate — but browser 'refresh' is 'aggiornare')
"rinfrescare" in English means:
to refresh, to cool down
Example
"Una doccia fredda rinfresca molto d'estate."
"A cold shower is very refreshing in summer."
