Semi-frozen

Describes a substance, typically a liquid, that has undergone a partial freezing process, resulting in a state where it is neither fully solid nor fully liquid. It signifies a transition phase between the two states, characterized by the presence of both ice crystals and unfrozen portions. The texture of a semi-frozen item can range from slushy or granular to thick and viscous, depending on the degree of freezing. This state is common in food preparation, preservation, and in natural phenomena like the formation of slush on roads or the partial freezing of bodies of water.
