Freezing

It depends on the speed of the process. If the speed of conversion is very rapid, then it is solidification and may yield a solid, but non-crystalline material. If the process is slow enough, and the chemistry is right, then the process is likely to be crystallization. The conversion of water to ice is crystallization with a phase change from liquid to solid (check the phase diagram). Freezing is a generic, vernacular term (non-scientific) for this specific process.

When we talk about FREEZING, we think of water SOLIDIFYING ... turning to ice.
All liquids can Freeze, or Solidify. The process of Solidification has a different temperature for each liquid and the process releases large amounts of heat energy.

Solidifying. (a liquid can turn into a solid by lowering the liquid's temperature, in other words, freezing it)

you can use the term freezing, even though it only happens at 'freezing' for water.
alternative is solidifying
