disease, injury, acupuncture, or an anesthetic, such as chloroform or nitrous

oxide. Local or general insensibility to pain with or without the loss of

consciousness, induced by an anesthetic. Word History: The following

passage, written on November 21, 1846, by Oliver Wendell Holmes, a

physician-poet and the father of the Supreme Court justice of the same name,

allows us to pinpoint the entry of anesthesia and anesthetic into English:

“Every body wants to have a hand in a great discovery. All I will do is to give

you a hint or two as to names—or the name—to be applied to the state

produced and the agent. The state should, I think, be called ‘Anaesthesia’

{from the Greek word anaisthesia, “lack of sensation”}. This signifies

insensibility . . . The adjective will be ‘Anaesthetic.’ Thus we might say the

state of Anaesthesia, or the anaesthetic state.” This citation is taken from a

letter to William Thomas Green Morton, who in October of that year had

successfully demonstrated the use of ether at Massachusetts General

Hospital in Boston. Although anaesthesia is ecorded in Nathan Bailey's

Universal Etymological English Dictionary in 1721, it is clear that Holmes

really was responsible for its entry into the language. The Oxford English

Dictionary has several citations for anesthesia and anesthetic in 1847 and

1848, indicating that the words gained rapid acceptance
