Usage Note

Anticrisi is an invariable compound adjective formed with the prefix anti- plus crisi (crisis). Because crisi itself is invariable (ending in -i in both singular and plural), the compound is also invariable: un piano anticrisi, misure anticrisi. It became common in Italian political and economic discourse after the 2008 financial crisis to describe emergency fiscal measures.
