名词(Noun)

false friend (plural false friends)

Examples
The Spanish embarazado (“pregnant”) and English embarrassed. The Chinese 手紙／手纸 (shǒuzhǐ, “toilet paper”) and Japanese 手紙 (“letter”), both of which are composed of the same characters. The Italian triviale (“vulgar”) and English trivial. The two words are cognate through the Latin root trivium (“crossroads”).

(linguistics, translation studies, lexicography) A word in a language that bears a deceptive resemblance to a word in another language but in fact has a different meaning.
A word and its false friend may well be etymologically related: in such cases semantic shifts have made them drift apart.
