Anesthesiologist
From Greek anaisthesia (insensibility; want of feeling or perception, lack of sensation to pleasure or pain); from Greek an- (without) + aisethesis (feeling), from the Proto-Indo-European (PIE) root au- (to perceive). Anesthesiologist, from 1943.
Anesthesia as a loss of feeling is from 1721. Anesthesia as a procedure for the prevention of pain in surgical operations is from 1846. Anesthetic, an agent that produces anesthesia, is from 1848 (in particular, the surgical use of chloroform). Anesthesiology as the science that deals with the means and methods of producing in man or animal various degrees of insensibility with or without hypnosis is from 1908.
