よく混同される語
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.
使い方のコツ
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'.
よくある間違い
Learners often use 'anesthesia' when they mean the drug itself. Remember: anesthetic is the object/substance, anesthesia is the condition.
