Morphology

anesthyl = anesthetic (opaque) = anesth + yl

Formed with the combining element 'anesth-' and the chemical suffix '-yl' to create a trade/chemical name; the specific meaning (a particular mixture) is specialized and not derivable by an average learner.

Etymology

Anesthyl comes from parts an- meaning 'not' and esth meaning 'feeling', like in anesthetic. So it means 'without feeling', which is why it is used as a spray to numb the skin.
