Explanation
Frozen means turned into ice or made very cold. For example, “The lake was frozen in winter.” It can also describe food that is preserved by freezing, like frozen fruits and vegetables are still healthy and safe to eat because they keep their nutrients and freshness for a long time, though fresh ones are usually the best choice. Frozen can be used literally for ice and cold things, or figuratively to describe someone who is shocked or unable to move, like “He was frozen with fear.” Frozen things stay solid until warmed. It is often used in daily life, cooking, weather descriptions, and emotional expressions.
