freezings
Turning to ice
Freezings is the plural of freezing as a noun, referring to multiple instances of something becoming frozen or being subjected to freezing temperatures.
The word appears mainly in technical contexts: The meat underwent several freezings and thawings before it spoiled.
In scientific writing, it may describe repeated cycles or separate events of solidification.
