LIQUIFY Meaning and
Definition
-
Liquify is a verb that refers to the process of turning a substance, typically a solid or semi-solid, into a liquid state. It involves the transformation of matter from a more condensed form to a less condensed one, resulting in the substance becoming fluid or liquid in nature.
When something is liquefied, its molecular arrangement and cohesion break down due to the input of energy, typically in the form of heat. This energy causes the particles within the substance to move more rapidly, overcoming their intermolecular forces and allowing them to flow freely.
The liquification process is commonly observed in various contexts. For instance, when water is heated, it undergoes a phase change from its solid state (ice) to its liquid state. Similarly, heating butter or a wax substance causes it to liquefy. Liquification can also occur through mechanical means, such as blending or grinding solid food items into a liquid or semi-liquid consistency.
The concept of liquification is not limited to substances existing in a solid state. It can also refer to the transformation of gases into a liquid state through a process called condensation. This occurs when gases are cooled below their boiling points, causing their molecules to come together and form a liquid.
Overall, liquify entails the conversion of matter into a liquid form, either through the application of heat, mechanical force, or by cooling gases.
Common Misspellings for LIQUIFY
Etymology of LIQUIFY
The word liquify is derived from the noun liquid.
The term liquid comes from the Latin word liquidus, which means fluid or flowing. It first appeared in English around the late 14th century, introduced by the Old French word liquide. In turn, liquide was derived from the Latin liquidus.
The suffix -fy, also seen as -ify, is a common suffix used in English to form verbs. It is derived from the Old French -fier and the Latin -ficare, both meaning to make or to do.
Therefore, by combining the word liquid with the suffix -fy, the word liquify was formed. It means to make or become liquid or to liquefy.
