stupor
Significado: A state of near-unconsciousness or insensibility, typically caused by shock, drugs, alcohol, or illness.
Stupor implies a deeper level of unresponsiveness than drowsiness or lethargy — the person is barely aware of their surroundings and difficult to rouse. In clinical medicine, stupor is a defined level of consciousness between confusion and coma. In everyday usage, it most commonly appears in the phrase 'drunken stupor.' Common collocations include 'drunken stupor,' 'in a stupor,' and 'shocked into a stupor.'
