fragola
strawberry
noun FRAH-goh-lah Rare
Origin: From Latin fragum (strawberry).
Usage Note
Fragola is the standard word for strawberry; the plural is fragole. It also lends its name to the strawberry flavour: gelato alla fragola (strawberry ice cream). Do not confuse with fragile (fragile) — a common false-friend trap for English speakers.
