Morphology
kinanesthesia = anesthesia (semi-transparent) = kina + anesthesia + kina
The word is formed by adding the combining form 'kina-' (movement) to 'anesthesia' (loss of sensation); the medical components make the structure clear to those with some medical vocabulary, but 'kina-' is not a common standalone morpheme for average learners.
Etymology
The word kinanesthesia is made of kin- meaning 'movement', as in kinetic, and anesthesia meaning 'without feeling'. So kinanesthesia is not being able to feel the movement of your body or its parts.
