Frigor

/ˈfrɪɡər/ noun

Definition

Cold or coolness; a state of being cold or chilled.

Etymology

Directly from Latin 'frigor,' meaning coldness or chill. A formal or archaic English word rarely used in modern speech except in specialized contexts.

Kelly Says

This is one of the oldest English cold words—'frigor' came straight from Latin and sounds almost poetic compared to our modern 'cold,' which is why you rarely hear it anymore!
