⚠️ The trap

'Turbante' is the turban, not 'turbare'. 'Turbare' is a verb meaning to disturb or distress emotionally. These look similar but are completely different.

To say "a head covering made of wrapped cloth" in Italian:

turbante (turban); turbare (to disturb/upset)

"turbare" in English means:

to disturb, to upset, to trouble emotionally

Example

"La notizia l'ha molto turbata."

"The news upset her greatly."
