Able to withstand cold temperatures without damage; resistant to freezing.
From Latin 'frigor' (cold) plus 'stable' (from Latin 'stabilis,' meaning firm or steady). A modern scientific term used in biology and botany to describe cold-hardy organisms.
Arctic plants and animals are frigostable—they've evolved antifreeze-like proteins in their bodies so they can survive temperatures that would kill most other creatures!
