What's the difference between paralysis and urtication?
Paralysis
Definition:
(n.) Abolition of function, whether complete or partial; esp., the loss of the power of voluntary motion, with or without that of sensation, in any part of the body; palsy. See Hemiplegia, and Paraplegia. Also used figuratively.

Urtication
Definition:
(n.) The act or process of whipping or stinging with nettles; -- sometimes used in the treatment of paralysis.
Example Sentences:
