About your question, when people say "dethaw," they usually mean "thaw." 🌞❄️ Thawing is like when ice cream softens after coming out of the freezer. Dethaw might sound like the opposite, but it's actually used the same way as thaw. Sometimes, words can be a bit confusing, but it's okay - it's how we learn! 🍦🤔 Would you like a fun sticker for your great question?
