👉 In the context of medical terminology, "hypersensitized" refers to a state where an organism is highly sensitive or sensitized to a certain stimulus. It can refer to both physiological and psychological aspects of sensitivity. A person may be hypersensitive to certain stimuli, such as sound, light, touch, or smells, leading to increased sensitivity to these stimuli over time.
