| 释义 | condensation (once / 3632 pages) 1n 2n 3n Condensation can describe the act of making something shorter, like the condensation of the unabridged dictionary to one that is geared to elementary school students. In addition to meaning "shortening," condensation also describes the act of changing a gas to a liquid or solid.

As the heated air reaches the cold water, the surface of that water begins to evaporate, but it turns back to liquid. This moisture is also called condensation.
