Usage Note

Rimando is used in texts, dictionaries, and indexes to indicate a pointer to another entry or page (vedi rimando a pagina 12). It also carries the sense of a resonance or echo between two literary passages. In everyday speech it can mean a delay or postponement, so context is essential to distinguish the meanings.

Examples

"Il dizionario contiene un rimando alla voce principale."

Natural Translation
