system

The Italian word 'sistema' is used similarly to the English term 'system'. They both are used to describe a set or arrangement of things that work together as a whole. For instance, in the context of information technology, a 'sistema operativo' means an 'operating system'. It can also be used to describe a method or set of procedures for achieving something, just as 'system' is used in English.
