asphyxia

• n. [医] 窒息

前缀a-，不，没有。词根sphygmo, 脉膊。古医学认为窒息而死脉膊将随之停止，但现已证实这种观念是错误的（市场买的鱼剖腹后一小时内仍能突然悸动）。

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.
