What frost means
A thin layer of ice crystals that forms on surfaces when the temperature drops below freezing, especially overnight when moisture in the air condenses and freezes.
Where the word comes from
Frost comes from Old English *forst*, which developed from Proto-Germanic *frustaz*. This root is related to Old Norse *frost* and Old High German *frost*, all deriving from the same Germanic base meaning "freezing cold."
