unthaw
Unthaw is often used colloquially to mean the same as "thaw," referring to the process of something frozen changing to a more liquid or softer state due to warming or increase in temperature. However, it is considered incorrect by some people as "unthaw" could also imply re-freezing due to the prefix "un" usually denoting reversal.
