Meaning of benumbment | Babel Free
Examples
“The first cold weather, after insects have⟳ entered their winter quarters, produces effects upon them similar to those which occur⟳ in the dormouse, hedgehog, and other of the larger animals subject to torpor. At first a partial benumbment takes place⟳; but the insect if touched is still capable of moving its organs.”
“The pain was electric and compact, reducing everything to its own⟳ sort⟳ of benumbment, making the world beyond my head seem small and dazed.”
