Usage Note
Lancio covers a physical throw (il lancio del peso, 'the shot put') and a product or rocket launch. Because it ends in -cio, the plural drops to lanci, not 'lancii'. It comes from the verb lanciare.
Examples
"Il lancio del prodotto è domani."
Natural Translation
The product launch is tomorrow.
Literal Translation
The launch of-the product is tomorrow.
