What does FROST mean in Scrabble?
noun
A thin layer of ice crystals that forms on cold surfaces when water vapor freezes directly out of the air, or a period of weather cold enough to produce this effect.
Frost appears overnight on grass, windows, and car windshields whenever the air near the ground cools below freezing and moisture condenses directly into ice rather than passing through a liquid stage. Gardeners watch closely for the first frost of autumn and the last frost of spring, since either can damage tender plants that cannot survive freezing temperatures. As a verb, to frost something can mean either to cover it with real frost or, in the kitchen, to spread sweet icing over a cake, a sense that plays on the resemblance between icing and a frosty white coating. Frost can also describe a person's manner, so a frost in someone's greeting suggests a cold, unfriendly reception rather than actual ice.
How FROST is used
Common in everyday speech for weather and gardening, and, as a verb, for both freezing surfaces and icing cakes.
- A thin frost covered the windshield this morning.
- Gardeners covered the tomatoes before the first frost.
- She spent the afternoon learning to frost a birthday cake.
- Frost had turned every blade of grass silver by dawn.
