Made less sensitive, reactive, or emotionally responsive to something through repeated exposure or a process of acclimatization.
Past participle of desensitize. This adjective describes a state where someone's emotional or physical response has been reduced.
If you grow up hearing harsh language, you might become 'desensitized' to it, meaning it doesn't shock or hurt you anymore—but sometimes losing sensitivity isn't actually a good thing if it means you stop caring about real problems.
