anaesthesia

/ˌænəsˈθiʒə/ noun B2

the condition of being unable to feel pain, usually caused by drugs before an operation

Word Origin From Greek an- 'without' and aisthanesthai 'to feel' — literally the state of no sensation. The same roots give us anesthesia (American spelling), anesthetic, and the opposite aesthetic (relating to feeling, beauty). The breakdown an+aesthes+ia shows the privative prefix.
