Pondering

The English language is strange and full of things that contradict and don't make sense.

To extend the shelf life of meat I freeze it.
When I'm ready to cook I take it out of the freezer to defrost it.
Shouldn't the term 'defrost' really be 'defreeze' cause I 'froze' the meat not 'frosted' it??

  1. It's frozen because it is covered in frost.
    Hence the defrost... i think ?
