Italian word

senso

sense, meaning, direction, feeling

Looks like

sense

a faculty; meaning; good judgment

⚠️ The trap

'Senso' means sense/meaning but also direction in Italian ('senso unico' = one-way street). English 'sense' never means direction. This is a practical trap for navigation.

To say "a faculty; meaning; good judgment" in Italian:

senso (true cognate — but 'direction' meaning is Italian-specific)

"senso" in English means:

sense, meaning, direction, feeling

Example

"Stai andando nel senso sbagliato."

"You're going in the wrong direction."
