nervegas

Nervegas is a term with no single, widely accepted definition. In medical or chemical literature, the closest formal term is nerve gas, a class of organophosphate nerve agents used as chemical weapons; "nervegas" as a sole term is typically a misspelling or informal variant.

In other contexts, nervegas has appeared as a proper name in speculative fiction, video games, or branding, where it may refer to a fictional city, a faction, a device, or a company. Because its meaning is highly dependent on the source, it is often capitalized differently (nervegas, NerveGas, or Nervegas).

Etymology is uncertain; possible influences include a blend of nerve with gas, a reference to Las Vegas as a cultural symbol, or a misinterpretation of the Latin "vagus" (the vagus nerve). In scholarly discussions, explicit clarification is required to avoid confusion with nerve gas or anatomical terms.
