Origin and Evolution of supercooled

First Known Use: 1914 year
Language of Origin: English
Story behind the word: The word 'supercooled' originated from the combination of the prefix 'super-' meaning above or beyond, and the verb 'cool' meaning to lower the temperature.
Evolution of the word: Originally used in the context of physics to describe a substance cooled below its normal freezing point without solidifying, the term 'supercooled' has since been adopted in various fields such as meteorology and food science to refer to liquids remaining in a liquid state below their freezing point.
