Italian term or phrase: effetto
Talché, contente dell’acqua, poscia ricevevano il seme, nello stesso tempo con quella imagine in ambedue i genitori maschio e femina, e lo spirito e il seme con quello istesso affetto e idea operava nel lavoro poi del corpo, e l’esprimeva similmente, perché ognuno opera così com’è affetto: la cosa calda scalda, la fredda affredda, l’irato fa con ira, il timoroso con paura, l’amoroso con amore il suo effetto, e in quello diffonde se stesso così com’egli è allora, perché agere è diffondere la propria natura e sembianza, così come lo scaldare è fare altrui caldo similmente come egli è, e scrivere è significare quel che ha in mente lo scrittore, e far banchi è metter l’idea e sembianza del banco che ha in mente nel legno.

produces an effect
Explanation:
I agree with Marco in terms of how to interpret the syntax, but I would say "produce" for "fa" and keep the concept of "effect"
