Italian word

navetta

shuttle bus / shuttle service

Looks like

navigate / navy

shuttle (no direct cognate with 'navigate')

⚠️ The trap

From 'nave' (ship). A 'navetta' is a small shuttle boat or bus. At airports you often see 'navetta' signs for hotel shuttles. Not a navigation device or navy-related transport.

To say "shuttle (no direct cognate with 'navigate')" in Italian:

navetta

"navetta" in English means:

shuttle bus / shuttle service

Example

"C'è una navetta gratuita tra l'albergo e l'aeroporto."

"There is a free shuttle between the hotel and the airport."
