Defogging

/dɪˈfɑːɡɪŋ/ verb

Definition

The process of removing fog or moisture from a surface.

Etymology

Present participle of 'defog,' formed from de- (remove) + fog. The gerund form emphasizes the ongoing action or process of clearing mist or condensation.

Kelly Says

Your bathroom mirror defogging after a hot shower is actually a physics lesson—the warm air your defogger produces raises the dew point, so water vapor stays gaseous instead of condensing into droplets.
