Made insensible chemically
Etherised means rendered unconscious with ether, the volatile liquid once used as an anaesthetic.

The word is literary, appearing famously in T.S.
Eliot's patient etherised upon a table.
Figuratively, something etherised is numbed or stupefied: The heat left the crowd etherised.
