Language pair:

Italian > English

Subject:

General

Level of diffculty:

Easy / medium

Word or term in question:

il nemico straffeggiato

Context:

Il combattimento è semplice. Il ragionamento è crudele. Si è certo di fare il morto. Piuttosto tu che io, t'impone l'istinto. Poi la coscienza, l'umanità si ridestano quando vedi, non saprei, il nemico straffeggiato, che vorresti raccogliere dalla polvere, ma non puoi. Ora, gli aeroplani si incendiano, fanno la torcia. Tu senti in te l'atrocità di quella morte.

Losing sturrups/ fall off a horse?

My comment:

'straffeggiato' doesn't seam to exist. But 'staffeggiato' means, literally, ' losing stirrups' which could make sense. Hope it helps
