If "heat of fusion" is the energy involved in the melting/freezing
process, what is the missing term below?

vaporization - condensation
sublimation - deposition
fusion - ??

And, if vaporization refers to the liquid to vapor transition and
sublimation refers to the solid to vapor transition does "fusion"
refer to the solid to liquid transition?
