Morphology
infrigidation = infrigidate (semi-transparent) = in + frigid + ation
Formed by suffixation from the verb 'infrigidate' (in- + frigid + -ate); the basic meaning 'process of making cold' is regular, but the prefix 'in-' can be misread as a negative and the verb is rare, so the relation is only partly obvious to learners.
Etymology
Infrigidation comes from the Latin root frigid meaning 'cold' and the ending -ation meaning 'a process'. It is like refrigeration or a fridge, so it means the process of making food cold to keep it fresh and safe.
