Morphology

Standard noun formation from the adjective 'frozen' using '-ness' to indicate a state or quality, which is clear to learners who know 'frozen'.

Etymology

Frozenness comes from freeze, which means 'become ice' or 'become very cold'. So when an app or screen stops responding and will not accept input, we call that state frozenness because it has 'stopped' moving like something frozen.
