FROSTED Meaning and Definition

1. Frosted is an adjective that describes an object or a surface covered with a thin layer of frost. Frost refers to the ice crystals that form on surfaces, usually due to extremely cold temperatures or condensation of moisture in the air. When something is frosted, it implies that it has a frosty appearance or texture.

   In terms of appearance, frosted surfaces can appear white or opaque, with a subtle or more pronounced crystalline pattern. This effect is achieved when water vapor in the air condenses and freezes on the surface, forming ice crystals that obscure the underlying surface. Popular examples of frosted surfaces include windows during colder seasons or refrigerated surfaces.

   Frosted can also denote a texture or consistency. For instance, in the context of food, a frosted cake is covered with a sweet, creamy layer called frosting (also known as icing or glaze). This coating is often thicker and smoother than a glaze, giving the cake a soft and velvety texture. Similarly, frosted glassware refers to glasses or cups with a textured or slightly roughened surface, typically achieved using chemical treatments or sandblasting.

   Overall, "frosted" encompasses a wide range of meanings, encompassing both appearance and texture, with frost being the defining characteristic of this concept.

2. Covered with anything resembling hoar-frost in colour or form; having white or grey hairs.
