Usage Note
Incastro refers to a mechanical or structural joint where two parts fit tightly together — a dovetail joint, a tongue-and-groove, or any interlocking fit. The verb is incastrare (to fit/slot in). Figuratively, un incastro perfetto describes a perfect fit or a neatly arranged plot twist in a story.
Examples
