anesthetized
Put under sedation
Anesthetized means rendered insensible to pain, typically through drugs administered before surgery: The patient was fully anesthetized before the procedure began.
Figuratively, it describes emotional numbness or dulled awareness: Years of disappointment had left her anesthetized to rejection.
The British spelling is anaesthetised.
