frozenness

/ˈfɹoʊzənnəs/ noun

The quality of being frozen.

Word Origin Built from frozen + -ness, where frozen comes from Old English frēosan, from Proto-Germanic *freusanan, and PIE *preus- 'to freeze, burn' — yes, freeze and burn share a root, think frostbite. The suffix -ness turns it into a state. Related words like frost, freezer, and antifreeze all carry that same chilly root.
