resolidified
Became solid again
Resolidified describes something that has become solid again after being melted or liquefied.
The term appears in scientific and industrial contexts: The resolidified wax retained its original shape.
Metal that has been melted and cooled has resolidified.
The prefix re- emphasizes return to a former solid state.
