According to my 1901 Carhart & Chute text, "When a body changes from the....
solid to the liquid state by the application of heat, it is said to
melt, or fuse, and the change is called melting, fusion, or
liquefaction." From my 1964 Dull, Metcalfe & Williams text, "Change of
state from a solid to a liquid is called fusion ... Fusion is the
scientific term for what is commonly called melting, or liquefaction."
