What's the difference between liquefy and melt?

Liquefy


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To convert from a solid form to that of a liquid; to melt; to dissolve; and technically, to melt by the sole agency of heat.

Melt


Definition:

  • (v. i.) To be changed from a solid to a liquid state under the influence of heat; as, butter and wax melt at moderate temperatures.
  • (v. i.) To dissolve; as, sugar melts in the mouth.
  • (v. i.) Hence: To be softened; to become tender, mild, or gentle; also, to be weakened or subdued, as by fear.
  • (v. i.) To lose distinct form or outline; to blend.
