onere

burden

noun OH-neh-reh Less Common

Origin: From Latin onus, oneris (load, burden).

Also means

charge

Usage Note

Onere means a financial or legal obligation, duty, or charge — closer to 'encumbrance' than to the physical English 'burden'. It appears in phrases like oneri fiscali (tax charges) and onere della prova (burden of proof). The plural is regular: gli oneri. Do not confuse with onore (honour), which differs only by one letter and stress.

Examples

"Gli oneri fiscali sono elevati."

Natural Translation

The tax charges are high.
