Answer: Excruciating
Even with my infinite vocabulary, I couldn't come up with an answer. I got really flustered and couldn't spit anything out. And before I knew it, time was up. In hindsight, it should've been really obvious -- "excruciating" comes from the Latin word "to crucify." Needless to say, just the thought of having nails driven through my hands (if you're theologically-inclined) or my wrists (if you're anatomically-inclined) makes me feel weak and light-headed.
