What is the definition or description of: freezing?

Liquid turning solid: Freezing is to mean turning liquid into solid form by lowering the temperature. Water begins to freeze at 32 degree f or 0 degree celsius. Freezing reduces the movement of the substance/object--solid. Also commonly used in daily communication--police says to a perpetraitor "freeze" and hopefully the bad boy/girl stays solid/still (just for fun :-)). Have fun learning. Good luck.

Slang for anesthesia: In dentistry 'freezing' often refers to the effect of local anesthesia. When a tooth is numb from the injection of local anesthetic it is often referred to as 'frozen'.
