It is called latent because heat is supplied without any increase in temperature.
It is called the enthalpy of fusion of a substance, also known as (latent) heat of fusion.
The amount of energy needed to change the "state of matter" is termed as "latent heat". This is not same for vapourisation (liquid to vapour) or for fusion (solid to liquid). For example, latent of fusion is 79.7 cal whereas latent heat for vapourisation is 541 calories. The latent depends on how closely the atoms and molecules in the matter are closely packed.
The heat absorbed when a solid liquefies is called latent heat of fusion. This heat is used to break the bonds between the solid particles, allowing them to move freely and change from a solid to a liquid state.
The formula to calculate the latent heat of fusion is Lf = Q / m, where Lf is the latent heat of fusion, Q is the amount of heat added or removed during the phase change, and m is the mass of the substance undergoing the phase change.
Heat energy is needed to melt a solid because it provides the molecules in the solid with enough kinetic energy to overcome the forces holding them in a rigid structure. The specific heat energy required to melt a solid at its melting point is called the latent heat of fusion.
The latent heat of fusion
The latent heat of fusion
molar heat of fusion
This energy is the enthalpy of fusion (or latent heat of fusion).
It is called the enthalpy of fusion of a substance, also known as (latent) heat of fusion.
The latent heat of evaporation
the heat which is absorbed by a substance for changing solid into liquid state by keeping temperature constant is called latent heat of fusion while the heat which is evolved during phase change of liquid to vapour state at constant temperature is called latent heat of vapourization
That's the heat of fusion.
The latent heat of fusion. ____ Freezing point

They are the same thing. Fusion and solidification both mean the changing of a liquid to a solid.
