Etymology of DEMENT

The word "dement" has its etymology rooted in Old French. It is derived from the Latin verb "dementare", which means "to drive out of one's mind" or "to make insane". This Latin verb, in turn, is formed from the prefix "de-" meaning "off" or "away", and "mentis", which translates to "mind". Over time, the term "dement" has evolved in English to refer to something that is irrational, insane, or mentally deranged.
