frozenness
State of ice
Frozenness is the state of being frozen—whether literally cold and solid, or figuratively immobile and unresponsive.
The word appears rarely, usually when someone needs a noun for what's otherwise expressed by "frozen": The frozenness of her expression told me everything.
It can describe emotional coldness or physical rigidity.
