Usage Note
Rivincita is feminine. In sport it specifically means a rematch or return bout — voglio la rivincita (I want a rematch). In everyday use it means revenge or payback, often without violent connotation: prendersi la rivincita (to get one's revenge). It is slightly less intense than vendetta (revenge, vengeance).
Examples
"Vuole prendersi la rivincita sulla rivale."
Natural Translation
