Also means
to process (data)
Usage Note
Processare primarily means to put someone on trial — processare un imputato ('to try a defendant'). In computing and technical contexts it also means 'to process' data, a borrowing from English. It takes avere as auxiliary. The related noun is processo ('trial' or 'process'). A false friend for English speakers: processo does NOT mean 'procession'.
Examples
"L'imputato sarà processato il mese prossimo."
Natural Translation
The defendant will be tried next month.
