Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 01, 2009 is:
frigorific • \frig-uh-RIFF-ik\ • adjective
: causing cold : chilling
Example sentence:
Jamie shivered as she faced the frigorific blast of wind blowing off the lake.
Did you know?
The chill in "frigorific" comes from "frigus," the Latin word for "frost" or "cold." ("Frigorific" is derived from Latin "frigorificus," the adjective form of "frigus.") "Frigus" has provided us with other icy words as well. It is the source of "refrigerate" ("to keep cold"), and also of the combining form "frigo-" ("cold") and the noun "frigorimeter" ("a thermometer designed for low temperatures"), both of which are primarily scientific and somewhat rare. "Frigus" is also related to the ancestors of "frigid" ("intensely cold"). "Frigorific" is a relatively unusual word and is used considerably less often than its relatives "refrigerate" and "frigid."

He taught in Egypt, Canada, and the US, authoring 25 books and 100 articles on subjects such as Arabism and Muslim identity. His proposals promoting the “Islamization of knowledge” attempt to synthesize the ethics of Islam with various fields of modern thought and had a profound effect on Islamic economics.
