Hello everyone!
I'm new to this forum and I'm hoping someone can help me out with a question.
What is the English translation for the word "asphyxiate"? I've been searching for the answer online but I can't seem to find it. Is there anyone here who knows the answer?
I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out.

Asphyxiate is an English verb which means to cause death or loss of consciousness due to lack of oxygen. It is sometimes used in a figurative sense to describe someone who is overwhelmed or suffocated by a situation. For example, someone may say they feel asphyxiated by a stressful job.
