Yo @Red Beard , you are wrong in a literal sense for obvious reasons. But hold your head high, because your basic logic is correct.
The 'Re' in refrigerator is used as the prefix form, implying 'again'. Refrigeratio in Latin is "to cool" with the Re form adding an 'again' implication.
The Latin root of the word form is frigidus (cold). Obviously leads to other words we use now such as Frigid etc.
So fuck it, stand by your guns.
It's a debate is all I'm saying...
