Also, we use "nonostante" from non and the present participle of the verb "ostare" (probably related to "ostacolo": obstacle), that means to oppose. Ostare is rarely used alone in everyday language, but some forms still appear in bureaucratic expressions as in "nulla osta" (nothing opposes, e.g., when you ask for a permit and the authority says that they don't have reason to refuse.
