dethaw
"Dethaw" is not a standard English term. It seems to be a mix up of "defrost" and "thaw". Both words mean to cause something frozen to become unfrozen (move from a solid state to liquid state due to heat). So if "dethaw" is used, it likely signifies the same meaning: removing frozen conditions or getting something out of the frozen state. However, due to the uncommon and somewhat contradictory nature of the term ('de' indicating 'removal or reversal' and 'thaw' meaning 'to unfreeze'), it may be best to avoid its usage where possible.
