etherize
Put under chemically
To etherize is to anesthetize with ether, the volatile liquid once widely used in surgery: The patient was etherized before the operation.
The word appears most famously in T.S.
Eliot's "Prufrock": the evening is spread out against the sky / Like a patient etherized upon a table.
Figuratively, to etherize is to render insensible or numb.
