Italian word

veloce

fast, quick, speedy

Looks like

velocity

velocity = speed (with direction, in physics); veloce is not an English word

⚠️ The trap

'Veloce' is the Italian adjective 'fast', from the same root as 'velocity'. But 'velocity' in English is a physics term; 'veloce' in Italian is everyday language for fast/quick.

To say "velocity = speed (with direction, in physics); veloce is not an English word" in Italian:

veloce (adjective: fast); velocità (noun: speed/velocity)

"veloce" in English means:

fast, quick, speedy

Example

"Sei molto veloce a imparare!"

"You're very quick to learn!"
