Adffrozen

/ædˈfroʊzən/ adjective

Definition

Frozen in place; made rigid or fixed in a condition as if by freezing.

Etymology

From 'adffroze' plus the '-en' suffix (common in past participles and adjectives, as in 'frozen,' 'broken,' 'wooden'), forming an adjective describing a state of being frozen.

Kelly Says

The '-en' suffix is ancient English—it's how we form words like 'frozen,' 'broken,' and 'golden,' and when combined with the rare 'adffroze,' it creates 'adffrozen,' a doubly archaic term.
