frigidness

Extreme cold state

Frigidness is the quality of being extremely cold, whether literally or figuratively.

Physical frigidness describes icy temperatures: the frigidness of the Arctic wind.

More often it describes emotional coldness—a lack of warmth, friendliness, or sexual responsiveness: Her frigidness toward him was unmistakable.

The noun frigidity is more common.
