The process of freezing, thickening, or solidifying; the state of being congealed.
From Latin 'congelatio,' derived from 'congelāre' (con- 'together' + gelāre 'to freeze'). The term evolved through medieval Latin into modern scientific and technical English.
Congelation is the scientific term for freezing—it's used in geology, chemistry, and food science, where precision matters more than everyday language.
