same reason flammable is the same as inflammable? It is just another mystery of life, I guess.

I dont know why thaw and unthaw mean the same thing. One of those weird things I suppose!

I think unthaw should stopped being used...
You thaw it out.. not unthaw it. Even though they both mean
-"to pass or change from a frozen to a liquid or semiliquid state; melt."
-"become or cause to become soft or liquid."
If the dictionary didn't say 'unthaw' was a word, I'd say it wasn't one.

To the best of my knowledge they don't! Unthaw would mean freeze.

Unthaw” is another illogical negative. Use “thaw.”

unthaw is a moron term. you cannot "unthaw" anything...unless you are freezing it again after you thaw it, and thats not a brilliant idea
