Original entry ↗noun
Selected source glosses provide context, not a complete modern definition inventoryThe firn or snowfield at the head of a glacier. · Young, granular snow on a glacier, which has been partially melted and refrozen since deposition, but has not yet turned into firn by surviving a full season of ablation.
Borrowed from French névé, from the Franco-Provençal (Savoyard) term névi (“mass of snow”), from Latin nivatus (“snow-cooled”), from nix, nivis (“snow”).
