anaesthetized
Feeling no pain
Anaesthetized means rendered insensible to pain, typically through drugs administered before surgery: The patient was fully anaesthetized before the procedure.
By extension, anything numbed or dulled can be anaesthetized: anaesthetized by grief, anaesthetized by routine.
This is the British spelling; Americans write anesthetized.
