ice meer
ice meer n. now rare a piece or cake of ground ice, esp. in a floating or detached state; cf. frost n. 2b, grue n.5 [The identity of the second element is uncertain. It may perhaps show mere n.1, although if so the semantic motivation is unclear. Compare Old English īsmere denoting a frozen body of water (see quot. eOE at Compounds 3a).]
