My thinking about this would be that the physiological result/event, with which we are all familiar--for me, it's that electrical "jolt" in the bottom of my feet--is known to everybody, regardless of when they lived.
The book's characters may not know the word or
term "adrenaline," (or what causes that), but surely, they know it's
something, yes? The pounding heart, the narrowed vision...? Would you care if they called it something like "jumps"? (or some made-up term).
I'm not arguing; I'm curious. Or do you mean that you object to when they discuss--in this historical period--the
effects of adrenalin, in a medical way, of which they could not be aware?
