ice-cream
UK: ˈaɪs kriːm | US: ˈaɪs kriːm
n. a sweet frozen food made from dairy products, flavored with sugar, fruits, or other ingredients
The word "ice-cream" is a compound of "ice" (from Old English īs, meaning frozen water) and "cream" (from Old French creme, derived from Latin chrisma, meaning ointment or dairy fat). The term emerged in the 18th century to describe the dessert made by freezing sweetened cream or milk. The combination reflects the two key components: the icy texture and the creamy base.
