Thawing is heating an object up enough so that a material trapped within it can melt or vaporize without the object itself being damaged. Most commonly it refers to frozen water trapped inside of food, but it can mean any object permeated by a frozen substance where the same process is taking place; for example laboratory samples stored in liquid nitrogen are “thawed” by letting the sample reach a high enough temperature that the nitrogen returns to a gaseous state.
