An abnormal sensation such as tingling, numbness, or burning affecting one side of the body.
From Greek hemi- (half) + paresthesia (from para- 'abnormal' + aisthesis 'sensation'), describing unusual sensations on half the body.
Someone experiencing hemiparesthesia might feel their entire left side is 'falling asleep' even though they're awake and moving—their nervous system is sending crossed wires for no apparent reason.
