To become congealed by cold; to be changed from a liquid to a solid state by the abstraction of heat; to be hardened into ice or a like solid body.
To become chilled with cold, or as with cold; to suffer loss of animation or life by lack of heat; as, the blood freezes in the veins.
To congeal; to harden into ice; to convert from a fluid to a solid form by cold, or abstraction of heat.
To cause loss of animation or life in, from lack of heat; to give the sensation of cold to; to chill.
The act of congealing, or the state of being congealed.
weather cold enough to cause freezing
be cold; "I could freeze to death in this office when the air conditioning is turned on"
be very cold, below the freezing point; "It is freezing in Kalamazoo"
a particularly cold spell of weather, a snow storm or an ice storm
the change of state from liquid to solid, as when water turns to ice, promoted by lowering the temperature; cooling slows down the movement of the molecules, producing a solid substance
The condition that exists when, over a widespread area, the surface temperature of the air remains below freezing (32°F) for a sufficient time to constitute the characteristic feature of the weather. When a freeze cuts short or ends the growing season it is termed a killing freeze. If sufficiently cold and prolonged, it may be termed a hard freeze.
To reduce the temperature of foods so that the liquid content becomes solidified.
to harden into ice or into a solid body; to change from the liquid to the solid state by loss of heat.
to solidify, transforming from a liquid or vapor into ice.
to change from a liquid to a solid When it gets very cold, water will freeze.
FREEZE is used to snapshot important JForth system variables which, at COLD-start time, define: 1) The most recently defined word in the dictionary, and the resulting VOCABULARY structure. 2) The vectors for the following DEFERed system words: EMIT KEY ?TERMINAL CR QUIT INTERPRET FIND :CREATE NUMBER ID. SOURCE BLOCK 'WORD LONGCFA, CFA, FLUSHEMIT COLDEXEC ABORT 3) All USER-variables defined below TASK. Even though the dictionary may be extended, and the above vectors altered by the programmer, their contents at the last FREEZE will be restored by COLD. FREEZE is called automatically by SAVE-FORTH or if FORGET lowers the dictionary below that saved by the last 'FREEZE'. Related Words: SAVE-FORTH FORGET COLD FENCE
The change of state from a liquid to a solid.
to solidify as a result of removal of heat
To subject food to a temperature below 32F (0C) so that the moisture in the food solidifies; used as a preservation method.
To change a substance from a liquid to a solid state by cooling. Water freezes at 32 F or 0 C. The sap in a tree begins to flow when temperatures outside rise above freezing during the day and below freezing at night.
To change from a liquid state to a solid state.
The process of changing a liquid to a solid. The temperature at which a liquid solidifies under any given set of conditions. Pure water under atmospheric pressure freezes at 0°C or 32°F. It is the opposite of fusion. In oceanography, the freezing point of water is depressed with increasing salinity.
