Definition
To convert into glacial ice or to cause to become covered with glaciers.
Etymology
From French 'glace' (ice) plus Latin suffix -fy (to make or become). It's related to 'glacier' and emerged in geological terminology in the 1800s.
Kelly Says
Unlike glaciation which is a natural process over millennia, glacify emphasizes the transformation itself—like watching snow slowly turn into the solid blue ice of a glacier.
