anesthetised
Put under sedation
Anesthetised is the British spelling of anesthetized—rendered insensible to pain through drugs or other agents.
A patient is anesthetised before surgery.
Figuratively, something that anesthetises dulls feeling or awareness: The routine of daily life had anesthetised him to its small pleasures.
