anesthetic
Surgical pain blocker
An anesthetic is a substance that causes loss of sensation, used to block pain during medical procedures.
Local anesthetics numb a specific area; general anesthetics render a patient unconscious.
As an adjective, anesthetic describes anything producing numbness: an anesthetic effect.
Figuratively, something anesthetic dulls awareness or feeling: the anesthetic comfort of routine.
