Italian word
molo
pier, jetty, quay, dock
Looks like
mole (breakwater in English nautical terms — actually same word)
mole (nautical) = a large stone pier; mole (animal)
⚠️ The trap
Actually a cognate in the nautical sense, but English speakers most commonly know 'mole' as the burrowing animal ('talpa' in Italian). At a marina, 'molo' is clearly the pier/dock.
To say "mole (nautical) = a large stone pier; mole (animal)" in Italian:
molo / banchina
"molo" in English means:
pier, jetty, quay, dock
Example
"Le barche sono ormeggiate lungo il molo."
"The boats are moored along the pier."
