Illustrative Context

Ice is frozen water.

Target Sense

• The most basic and generic noun for frozen (i.e. solid) water.
• This should be applicable to a tangible lump of ice or a layer on top of water. In most languages, the default term will be the prototypical one applied to the frozen surface of a pond, for example.
• Avoid more specific terms for ice in various particular forms and weather conditions: i.e. do not enter terms specific to hail, snow, frost, glacier, icicle, and so on.
• Avoid terms specific to particular uses of ice, e.g. French glaçon (ice-cube or block) for cooling, ice(-cream) for eating, etc..
• Avoid figurative terms, for ice as symbolic of coldness, unfriendliness, white/blue colour, and so on.
