esthe
sensation, perception
Greek · aisthesis, aisthanesthai (αἴσθησις)
Esthe (or aesthe) comes from Greek aisthesis, feeling or perception. Anesthesia is 'no feeling', while aesthetic relates to what the senses find beautiful.
Memory trick
An-esthesia: 'an' = without, so no feeling, like a numb jaw after the dentist.
