Usage Note

Warrant is an English loanword used in Italian finance for a security giving the holder the right to buy shares at a set price. It is invariable (plural: i warrant) and masculine. In a legal context Italians more commonly say mandato d'arresto ('arrest warrant') rather than borrowing the English word directly.

Examples

"L'azienda ha emesso nuovi warrant."
