Question

asphyxia n. 窒息 asphyxia (n.) 1706, "stoppage of pulse, absence of pulse," from Modern Latin, from Greek asphyxia "stopping of the pulse," from a- "not" (see a- (3)) + sphyzein "to throb." Obsolete in its original sense; the transferred sense of "suffocation" is from 1778, but it is a "curious infelicity of etymology" [OED] because victims of suffocation have a pulse for some time after breathing has stopped. 【记】as Phoenix→如同凤凰，埃及神话中的不死鸟,每隔五百年自投火中而死, 又从灰烬中再生→这鸟死时算是进入火堆于浓烟中熏死→窒息；a + sphinx 斯芬克斯，专门掐死（窒息）回答不出谜语的人
