Examples
When a police surgeon hit on the idea of etherizing an obdurate "dummy chucker," to determine if the prisoner could talk or not, Blake appropriated the suggestion as his own.
Never-Fail Blake Arthur Stringer 1912
Because the cow horn is now outwardly surrounded by the Earth, all the Earth's etherizing and astralizing rays stream into its inner cavity.
Biodynamics: Natural Wonder or Just a Horn of Manure? jaY MCINERNEY 2010
McKee-McCready modification of the Boyce thimble with the omission of the etherizing tube, which is no longer needed.
Bronchoscopy and Esophagoscopy A Manual of Peroral Endoscopy and Laryngeal Surgery Chevalier Jackson 1911
And gathering up in his strong arms, as if she had been a child, the unconscious woman who had branded him a coward, he bears her out of the now fiercely flaming place, through the window of the etherizing -room, down the swaying, smoking ladder.
Fire Fight Fire 1906

History of Circumcision from the Earliest Times to the Present Moral and Physical Reasons for its Performance Peter Charles Remondino 1886
The barren body of hawthorn, etherizing its children.
Critical Mass Erin O'Connor 2010
