petrify
This term evokes a state of total paralysis, whether biological or psychological. In its emotional sense, it describes a fear so intense that it mimics the rigidity of stone, stripping a person of their agency and ability to react. It is more extreme than being scared or intimidated, implying a complete freeze of the nervous system.
In a geological sense, the word describes a slow, transformative process of mineralization. This creates a permanent, fossilized state where organic matter is replaced by minerals, resulting in a literal stone replica of the original object.
