frosted
word
Definition
'Frosted' describes something covered with frost, a rough or matte surface (often glass), or something coated with a sugary, creamy layer (like a cake).
Usage & Nuances
Common for glass ('frosted glass' = not clear), desserts ('frosted cake'), or outdoor objects after cold weather. 'Frosted' glass allows light but obscures vision; 'frosted' on foods means covered with icing. Do not confuse with 'frosty' (cold in feeling or attitude).
