do you mean without going through the liquid stage first?

The transition from gas to solid is called frost.

Unfortunately there is not a single term. Sometimes it depends on the field of use and even the country like, for example, metereology. In this science, in the US the term used is "sublimation". In other parts of the world "deposition".
Other terms used are "frost formation", "condensation", "solidification"
I prefer "deposition"

when a gas turns into a solid?

Deposition (gas to solid)
Sublimation (solid to gas)

Condensation! Clouds are water vapor=gas. Cool air turns them liquid, and they fall as rain. Even cooler air freezes them, and they fall as hail, snow or ice.

sublimation
p.s. oops, gas into solid, yeah must be precipitate
p.p.s. Well, it's deposition according to Wiki:

precipitate maybe. I thought sublimate too at first like the person ahead of me but thats not it.

Reverse or inverse sublimation.

solidification, naturally!
when gas becomes liquid, it is liquefication...
