asphyxia

• n. [醫] 窒息

前綴a-，不，沒有。詞根sphygmo, 脈膊。古醫學認為窒息而死脈膊將隨之停止，但現已證實這種觀念是錯誤的（市場買的魚剖腹後一小時內仍能突然悸動）。

asphyxia (n.)

1706, "stoppage of pulse, absence of pulse," from Modern Latin, from Greek asphyxia "stopping of the pulse," from a- "not" (see a- (3)) + sphyzein "to throb." Obsolete in its original sense; the transferred sense of "suffocation" is from 1778, but it is a "curious infelicity of etymology" [OED] because victims of suffocation have a pulse for some time after breathing has stopped.
