Definition
Plural of freezer; appliances that preserve food by keeping it at very cold temperatures.
Etymology
From 'freeze' (Old English 'freosan') + '-er' (agent noun). The appliance itself was invented in the 1800s, making this a modern term for a modern invention.
Kelly Says
The freezer completely changed human food storage and civilization in the 1900s—suddenly people didn't have to preserve food with salt and smoking, and you could eat strawberries in December! It's one of the inventions that changed our relationship with seasons.
