   I can only tell in french, where the nomenclature is different than in   
   english.  The change of state from vapour to solid is known in french as   
   'condensation', or 'condensation solide', or 'deposition', or   
   'sublimation inverse'. Note that the vapour to liquid is called   
   'liquefaction'. Confusingly, in vernacular french, 'condensation' often   
   refers to the vapour to liquid, rather than vapour to solid.
