A condition of deep stupor or unconsciousness produced by a drug or other chemical substance.
[New Latin narcōsis, from Greek narkōsis, a numbing, from narkoun, to benumb, from narkē, numbness.]
From the Greek word meaning ‘to benumb’. A soporific or insensible state; a state produced by a narcotic drug. Regrettably the word ‘narcotic’ has been misused, especially in the US, where various narcotic agencies seem to call all drugs of abuse ‘narcotics’, whether they be heroin or cocaine, though the latter produces a state opposite to narcosis.
— Alan W. Cuthbert
An unconscious state induced by a narcotic analgesic.
A reversible state of central nervous system depression induced by a drug.
