Noun[edit]
ice (countable and uncountable, plural ices)
- (uncountable) Water in frozen (solid) form.
- c. 1599–1602 (date written), William Shake-speare, The Tragicall Historie of Hamlet, Prince of Denmarke: […] (First Quarto), London: […] [Valentine Simmes] for N[icholas] L[ing] and Iohn Trundell, published 1603, →OCLC, [Act III, scene i]:
- If thou doſt marry, Ile giue thee / This plague to thy dowry: / Be thou as chaſte as yce, as pure as ſnowe, / Thou ſhalt not ſcape calumny, to a Nunnery goe.
- 1882, Popular Science Monthly (volume 20), "The Freezing of a Salt Lake"
- It has always been difficult to explain how ice is formed on the surface of oceans while the temperature of maximum density is lower than that of cogelation, and the observations on this lake were instituted in the hope that they might throw light upon the subject.
- 2013 May 11, “The climate of Tibet: Pole-land”, in The Economist[1], volume 407, number 8835, page 80:
- Of all the transitions brought about on the Earth’s surface by temperature change, the melting of ice into water is the starkest. It is binary. And for the land beneath, the air above and the life around, it changes everything.
- (uncountable, physics, astronomy) Any frozen volatile chemical, such as ammonia or carbon dioxide.
- (uncountable, astronomy) Any volatile chemical, such as water, ammonia, or carbon dioxide, not necessarily in solid form, when discussing the composition of e.g. a planet as an ice giant vs a gas giant.
- 2010 March 15, Lance K. Erickson, Space Flight: History, Technology, and Operations, Government Institutes, →ISBN, page 145:
- Above the core is the lower-density liquid mantle composed of ice materials under high pressure and temperature. This massive liquid layer would not be separated into layers of traditional ice compounds, but mixtures of radically different compounds originally consisting of water, carbon dioxide, methane, and ammonia […] Since the mass of the planet is dominated by the liquid mantle that itself consists of heated ices under pressure, both Uranus and Neptune are classified as giant ice planets.
- 2010 December 2, Raymond T. Pierrehumbert, Principles of Planetary Climate, Cambridge University Press, →ISBN, page 20:
- Uranus and Neptune are […] usually classified separately as ice giants because they contain a much higher proportion of ice-forming substances such as water, ammonia, and methane. […] In the case of Uranus, the ice mantle must make up between 9.3 and 13.4 Earth masses worth of the total mass of the planet, which is 14.5 Earth masses. Similar proportions apply to Neptune. The commonly used term "ice mantle" is someone misleading, since the substance is actually a hot, slushy mixture that would be more aptly described as a water–ammonia ocean.
- (countable) A frozen dessert made of fruit juice, water and sugar.
- (UK, countable, dated) An ice cream.
- (uncountable) Any substance having the appearance of ice.
- (uncountable, slang) One or more diamonds and jewelry, especially blood diamonds.
- 2002, “Blueprint²”, performed by Jay-Z:
- But you can't give cred to anything dude says / Same dude to give you ice and you owe him some head
- 2005, Jordan Houston, Darnell Carlton, Paul Beauregard, Premro Smith, Marlon Goodwin, David Brown, and Willie Hutchinson (lyrics), “Stay Fly”, in Most Known Unknown[2], Sony BMG, performed by Three 6 Mafia (featuring Young Buck, 8 Ball, and MJG):
- Ice on the wrist with the ice in the chains.
- (uncountable, slang, drugs) Crystal form of amphetamine-based drugs.
- (uncountable, ice hockey) The area where a game of ice hockey is played.
- 2006, CBC, Finland, Sweden 'the dream final', February 26 2002,

- 2006, CBC, Finland, Sweden 'the dream final', February 26 2002,
- (uncountable, slang) Elephant or rhinoceros ivory that has been poached and sold on the black market.
- (uncountable, slang) An artifact that has been smuggled, especially one that is either clear or shiny.
- (slang) Money paid as a bribe.
- 1960, United States. Congress, Congressional Record:
- Theater operators, theater party agents, playwrights, and others who have ready access to tickets may get in on the “ice” and sometimes the producer is in on it too.
- 1970, Congressional Record: Proceedings and Debates:
- This “ice” is bribe money paid to public officials to purchase protection for illegal activities. […] Just consider the “ice” money available to the men involved in the examples just cited.
