rime - English
Pronunciation
- (UK, US) enPR: rīm, IPA: /ɹaɪm/

Noun
rime (countable and uncountable, plural rimes)
- (meteorology) Ice formed by the rapid freezing of cold water droplets of fog on to a cold surface.
- Synonyms: (loosely) hoar frost, frost
- (meteorology) A coating or sheet of ice so formed.

Usage notes
Rime (sense 1) technically differs from hoar frost, as the latter is formed by water vapour which has undergone deposition or desublimation (“transformation directly into ice crystals without first turning into liquid water”).
