The earliest identified English definition of the word anaisthesia was discovered in the first edition (1684) of A Physical Dictionary, an English translation of Steven Blankaart's medical dictionary, Lexicon Medicum Graeco-Latinum. This definition was almost certainly the source of the definition of anaesthesia which appeared in Dictionarium Anglo-Britannicum (1708), a general-purpose English dictionary compiled by the lexicographer John Kersey. The words anaisthesia and anaesthesia have not been identified in English medical or surgical publications that antedate the earliest English dictionaries in which they are known to have been defined.
“anaisthesia”这个词最早被确认的英文定义是在《物理词典》第一版（1684年）中发现的，该词典是史蒂文·布兰卡特的医学词典《希腊 - 拉丁医学词典》的英文译本。这个定义几乎肯定是《英 - 英词典》（1708年）中出现的“anaesthesia”定义的来源，《英 - 英词典》是词典编纂者约翰·克尔西编纂的一部通用英语词典。在早于已知最早对其进行定义的英语词典的英国医学或外科出版物中，尚未发现“anaisthesia”和“anaesthesia”这两个词。
