aha! so verbs make nouns. technically a refrigerator could be anything that makes something cool then.

ORIGIN Latin refrigerare ‘make cool’, from frigus ‘cold’.

lmao, noo. if you read some colonial kinda of books, they usually refer to it as 'ice box' or something. since, you know, it literally was an ice box.
