paræsthetic

  1. Obsolete form of paresthetic.
    • 1867, William Murray, chapter III, in A Treatise on Emotional Disorders of the Sympathetic System of Nerves, Moorhead, Simpson & Bond, page 60:
      Such a paræsthetic or hyperæsthetic state of these nerves seems to excite morbid emotion rather than pain or other sensations indicative of ordinary irritation in the part, and this is done chiefly by destroying the quality of that visceral sense, which is, as we have said, the substratum of the emotional states.
