narcotized
Put to sleep
Narcotized means put under the influence of a narcotic drug—sedated, numbed, or rendered insensible.
The term applies literally to patients given opiates or anesthetics: The narcotized patient lay motionless on the table.
Figuratively, it describes any state of dullness or stupor: a population narcotized by endless entertainment.
