Emotionally cold, unfeeling, or lacking compassion and warmth toward others.
Compound word combining frozen (past participle of freeze, from Old English) and hearted (having a specified kind of heart). This poetic formation directly parallels the metaphor of emotional coldness as literal freezing, a concept deeply embedded in English for centuries.
Frozen-hearted appears throughout classical literature as the poetic opposite of 'warm-hearted,' representing the ultimate emotional villain—the character whose cruelty comes not from anger but from complete indifference.
