يُخلط عادةً مع
An anesthetic causes a total loss of sensation (numbness), whereas an analgesic reduces pain without necessarily causing numbness.
Anesthesia is the state of being unable to feel pain; an anesthetic is the actual drug that causes that state.
ملاحظات الاستخدام
The word can be used as both a noun (the drug) and an adjective (describing something that causes numbness). In British English, it is spelled 'anaesthetic'.
أخطاء شائعة
Learners often use 'anesthesia' when they mean the drug itself. Remember: anesthetic is the object/substance, anesthesia is the condition.
