Vine's Expository Dictionary of NT Words [1]
1: κατάνυξις (Strong'S #2659 Noun Feminine katanuxis kat-an'-oox-is )
"a pricking" (akin to katanusso, "to strike" or "prick violently," Acts 2:37 ), is used in Romans 11:8 , Rv, "stupor" (Av, "slumber"). It is suggested that this meaning arose from the influence of the verb katanustazo, "to nod" or "fall asleep" (Field, Notes on the Translation of the Nt). Evidently what is signified is the dulling of the spiritual sense. In the Sept., Psalm 60:3; Isaiah 29:10 .
Webster's Dictionary [2]
(1): ( n.) Great diminution or suspension of sensibility; suppression of sense or feeling; lethargy.
(2): ( n.) Intellectual insensibility; moral stupidity; heedlessness or inattention to one's interests.
