Strong’s Greek Lexicon
from G2660; a prickling (sensation, as of the limbs asleep), i.e. (by implication [perhaps by some confusion with G3506 or even with G3571]) stupor (lethargy):—slumber.
Owing to changes in the enumeration while in progress, there were no words left for numbers 2717 and 3203–3302, which were therefore silently dropped out of the vocabulary and references as redundant.
Thayer’s Greek Definitions
1) a pricking, piercing
2) severe sorrow, extreme grief
3) insensibility or torpor of mind, such as extreme grief easily produces
3a) hence a “spirit of stupor”, which renders their souls torpid so insensible that they are not affected at all by the offer made them of salvation through the Messiah
