chilled

Kept on ice

Chilled means cooled, typically to a temperature below ambient but above freezing: chilled wine, chilled soup.

The word extends to people who feel cold: I'm chilled to the bone.

In informal use, chilled (or chilled out) describes a relaxed, easygoing state: We just chilled at home all weekend.

A chilling effect discourages action through fear or intimidation.
