as-th[=e]-n[=i]'a, n. debility, lack of strength.--adj. ASTHEN'IC [Gr. a, priv., and sthenos, strength.]
By Thomas Davidson
-
A word used in this sense by Galen, and employed, especially by Brown, to designate debility of the whole economy, or diminution of the vital forces. He distinguished it into direct and indirect: the former proceeding from diminution of stimuli; the latter from exhaustion of incitability by the abuse of stimuli.
