      “Home, home on the range,
      Where the deer and the antelope play,
      Where seldom is heard a discouraging word,
      And the skies are not cloudy all day.”

    “Adventitious” is a good word. It means:

    1. Arising from an external cause or factor; not inherent.
    2. Of or belonging to a structure that develops in an unusual place. “adventitious roots.”
    3. Added extrinsically; not essentially inherent; accidental or causal; additional; supervenient; foreign.

    I thought frigorific was a term for a mixture of chemicals that stays at a constant temperature. Never heard of the other definition, interesting.
